The Wolf Without Tail Story

The big bad wolf is in the forest.

Long time ago there lived a pack of wolves in a jungle. They often used to hunt and eat other weak and feeble animals of the jungle. One of these wolves used to think of himself to be very strong and clever. This clever wolf often used to go secretly to the village near the jungle without telling the rest of the wolves and would hunt and eat the pet animals of the farmers in the village. The poor people of the village were really sick of this wolf and wanted to get rid of him. Therefore to get rid of this wolf all the people of the village went to an experienced hunter to take his advice. When the hunter heard the problem of the poor people of the village he agreed to help them. The hunter went near the village and spread a big trap on the way where the wolf was expected to come from. The hunter himself sat on the branch of the tree to wait for the wolf to come. After a while the wolf appeared in the village.

The wolf was caught in the trap.

He was moving fast ahead to catch an animal for his meal. Soon the wolf went near the trap of the hunter. The moment he stepped ahead, his paw got stuck and the wolf was caught in the trap. At first the wolf got very scared at being caught in this difficulty that had appeared suddenly but then he started making an effort to come out of the trap. While he was scuffling with the trap his tail got entangled in it. The wolf managed to come out of the trap after scuffling with it for a long time. But as soon as the wolf got himself freed, the trap was pulled with a jerk. As a result of this, the knife of the hunter who was sitting on the tree, fell on the wolf's tail and chopped it off from the rest of his body. In this situation, the wolf preferred to save his life than saving his tail so he ran away towards the jungle.

The injured wolf went back to the other wolves without his tail.

When the injured wolf went back to the other wolves without his tail they all started making fun of him. The wolf got very embarrassed in front of his friends. Suddenly the clever wolf got an idea so he made a fake story to tell his friends. He said, "Dear friends, don't make fun of me. I used to remain very upset because of my tail. I have got my tail chopped off myself on purpose as it was a big hurdle for me while I had to run fast to hunt. It would be better for you all to get your tails cut as well so that you can also run fast without any difficulty to hunt for your prey." When the rest of the wolves heard him they all got very impressed from his wisdom and were ready to get their tails chopped off. The wolf without the tail told the other wolves that to get their tales chopped off they would have to go to the village near the jungle.

An old wolf, who is sitting quietly and is listening to the conversation
of all these wolves.

Amongst the pack of wolves there was an old wolf, who was sitting quietly and was listening to the conversation of all these wolves. When he noticed that all the wolves were ready to get their tails chopped off so he spoke to them, "You all are taking a very hasty decision. I am sure that this wolf is making a fool out of you all. I am an experienced old wolf and I can tell for sure that this wolf got his tail chopped off while scuffling with a hunter's trap and now to save himself from embarrassment he wants you all to get your tails cut off as well." When all the wolves heard what the old wolf said they all realised about their mistake and decided to punish the wolf without the tail. But the old wolf requested them to forgive him for his mistake as God likes those who forgive others.
