Once there was a strange fox called Foxy. He loved to eat fish, but he hated fishing. He did not like fishing as he found it boring. It always took too long to catch them. And Foxy did not like to wait. So, Foxy devised a clever plan one day. He made a beautiful butterfly out of paper and hung it over the river. Flap, flap went the paper wings in the breeze. The poor fish were deceived and could not resist it. One by one, they jumped out the water to try to catch the butterfly and fell right into Foxy’s bucket! Foxy was very happy. He had collected quite a few fish in a short time. His mouth watered at the thought of eating them. So, he went home and lighted fire. Then he cooked the fish and had a lovely dinner.
