English Original
A fox, having escaped from a trap, lost his tail. Thereafter, burdened by shame and ridicule, he schemed to convince all the other foxes that being tailless was more attractive, hoping to make up for his own deprivation. He assembled many foxes and publicly advised them to cut off their tails, claiming they would look better and be free from the inconvenience of carrying such a heavy brush. One fox interrupted him, saying, "My friend, if you had not lost your own tail, you would not be giving us this advice."

一只狐狸从陷阱中逃脱，却失去了尾巴。此后，他因遭受的羞耻和嘲笑而感到生活沉重，于是谋划说服所有其他狐狸，声称没有尾巴更具魅力，以此弥补自己的缺失。他召集了许多狐狸，公开建议他们割掉尾巴，说这样不仅看起来更好，还能摆脱那沉重尾巴带来的极大不便。其中一只狐狸打断他说：“朋友，如果你自己没有丢掉尾巴，你是不会这样劝告我们的。”
