When I was hungry again, I went looking for new food and found a hat on the road. She put on her hat, went to the nearest hut and knocked. The farmer asked, "Who's there?" , the fox replied that the royal ambassador. She gave the farmer a hat to look after her. After eating, she went to bed and hid her hat at night. In the morning, the farmer begged the fox to forgive him for losing his hat. The fox said, "Give me a chicken, then I won't say anything to the king." It's the same at the next house, I let me hold the chicken, ate it at night, and got lamb in the morning. It's the same in the next house, but in the morning a farmer found the remains of a lamb and realized that the fox had eaten it. The fox asked for a sheep, and the farmer gave her a bag and said he put the sheep in the bag to make it easier to carry. There was actually a dog in the bag. Happy fox went home with a sack. At home, I said to myself: "I'm so full that I don't want to eat anything right now. Let the sheep get caught in the meadow and get fatter, then I'll eat it." When she opened the bag, the dog jumped out, and the fox barely managed to escape into the hole.

Aha! The fox let the dog bite off half of its tail. The dog brought the tail to its owner, who was happy and said: "Now I know which fox I'm going to hunt next time." But the fox said to all the other foxes, "I have an important message for you! The village has a new manager, and he is chasing all the long-tailed foxes. So I cut off half my tail.
