Synopsis

Once upon a time, Bear had a magnificent, long tail that all the forest animals admired. However, Bear found it bothersome. Fox, envious of Bear's tail, decided to play a trick on him. He convinced Bear to use his tail to catch fish through a hole in the ice. Bear followed Fox's advice, but as he waited, the ice froze around his tail. When Bear tried to stand up, his tail snapped off, leaving him with the short tail bears have today.
