从前，有一只叫弗雷德的狐狸。
一天，他在森林里玩耍时，不小心被一个捕兽器夹住了尾巴，痛得他哇哇大叫。
等他终于挣脱出来时，尾巴已经被夹断了。
弗雷德感到非常羞愧，他觉得自己失去了尾巴，就像失去了一部分自己一样。
他开始想方设法地掩盖这个缺点，不再像以前那样自信满满地在其他动物面前展示自己。
有一天，弗雷德有了个主意。
他召集了所有狐狸，告诉他们尾巴不仅不美观，还让他们拖着一件笨重的东西，是个累赘。
他说：“朋友们，如果我们都没有尾巴，那我们大家就都一样了，我也就不会因为没有尾巴而感到尴尬了。”
然而，一只名叫苏珊的狐狸站了出来，她对弗雷德说：“弗雷德，如果你不是为了自己的利益，你也不会这么努力的劝我们割掉尾巴吧？”
听了苏珊的话，其他的狐狸也纷纷点头表示同意。
他们都明白，每个人都有自己的特点和长处，不应该因为别人的看法而改变自己。
最后，弗雷德明白了这个道理，他不再为没有尾巴而感到羞愧，反而更加珍惜自己的独特之处。
他也意识到，真正的自信来源于接受并欣赏自己的不同。
这个故事告诉我们，不要轻易因为他人的意见而改变自己，每个人都有自己独特的价值。
我们应该尊重并珍视自己的特点，因为这就是我们的个性所在。
Once upon a time, there was a fox named Fred.
One day, while playing in the forest, he accidentally got caught in a trap and his tail was squeezed off. He cried out in pain.
By the time he managed to escape, his tail had already been broken off.
Fred felt very ashamed. He felt like he had lost a part of himself along with his tail.
He started to try all sorts of ways to cover up this flaw and no longer showed himself confidently in front of other animals as before.
One day, Fred came up with an idea.
He gathered all the foxes and told them that tails were not only unattractive but also made them carry a cumbersome thing around.
He said, "Friends, if none of us have tails, then we are all the same. I won't feel embarrassed for not having a tail anymore."
However, a fox named Susan stepped forward. She said to Fred, "Fred, if it's not for your own benefit, would you work so hard to persuade us to cut off our tails?"
After hearing Susan's words, the other foxes nodded in agreement one after another.
They all understood that everyone has their own characteristics and strengths, and they should not change themselves because of others' opinions.
In the end, Fred realized this truth. He no longer felt ashamed for not having a tail, but instead treasured his uniqueness even more.
He also realized that true confidence comes from accepting and appreciating his differences.
This story tells us not to easily change ourselves because of others' opinions. Everyone has their own unique value.
We should respect and cherish our own characteristics because that is where our individuality lies.
