1
00:00:09,920 --> 00:00:42,040
Speaker 1: Welcome, sleep tight stories. Why dogs chase foxes? A fox

2
00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:45,320
Speaker 1: was running through the woods near a river. He had

3
00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:48,559
Speaker 1: a fish in his mouth. The fish had been stolen

4
00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:52,360
Speaker 1: from an Indian who lived down the stream. The fox

5
00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:56,200
Speaker 1: had been passing near the indians wigwam. He saw the

6
00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:59,920
Speaker 1: fish hanging by the fire. It was cleaned and ready

7
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:04,680
Speaker 1: to cook. What a tasty breakfast, thought the fox. I

8
00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:09,120
Speaker 1: think I will watch the man eat. Soon the Indian

9
00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:13,400
Speaker 1: went into the wigwam. The fox slipped up to the fire.

10
00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:17,679
Speaker 1: He seized the fish and ran away with it. When

11
00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:21,640
Speaker 1: the Indian came back, he had no breakfast. The fish

12
00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:25,959
Speaker 1: was gone. No fox was to be seen. The fox

13
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:30,760
Speaker 1: ran along, feeling very pleased with himself. What a cunning

14
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:35,240
Speaker 1: fox I am, he chuckled. I will play another foxy trick.

15
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:38,800
Speaker 1: This time it shall be on the bear I see coming.

16
00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:42,240
Speaker 1: He ran up a tree that had been bent halfway

17
00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:45,440
Speaker 1: down to the earth by the west wind. There he

18
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:49,440
Speaker 1: began to eat his fish. He smacked his lips so

19
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:53,640
Speaker 1: loudly that the bear heard him. The bear stopped under

20
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:57,080
Speaker 1: the tree and asked, what are you eating that tastes

21
00:01:57,120 --> 00:02:00,640
Speaker 1: so good? For answer, the fox threw grew down a

22
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:03,960
Speaker 1: bit of the fish, The bear smacked his lips and

23
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:09,120
Speaker 1: cried more more, go to the river, swim out to

24
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:12,560
Speaker 1: the big log and catch your own fish, called the fox.

25
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:16,640
Speaker 1: It's very easy. Just drop your tail into the water,

26
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:20,200
Speaker 1: hold it there till a fish comes along and bites,

27
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 1: then pull it up. That is the way I catch

28
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:27,600
Speaker 1: my fish. You can catch all the fish you want

29
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:31,080
Speaker 1: with your own tail. The bear hurried on to the river.

30
00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:34,840
Speaker 1: He swam to the log and dropped his tail into

31
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:38,360
Speaker 1: the water, as the fox had advised. All day, he

32
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:42,119
Speaker 1: sat and fished with his tail for bears then had

33
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:46,799
Speaker 1: very long tails. The sun set, but no fish had

34
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:50,240
Speaker 1: pulled his tail. All night, the bear sat on the

35
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:54,800
Speaker 1: log and fished. Cold north wind blew his breath over

36
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 1: the water. The river grew still and quiet. Towards morning,

37
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:03,280
Speaker 1: the bear felt that his tail was getting very heavy.

38
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:06,760
Speaker 1: Now at last he was sure he had a fish.

39
00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:11,160
Speaker 1: He tried to pull it up, but alas his tail

40
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 1: was frozen fast in the ice. Then the fox came along.

41
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:19,519
Speaker 1: He laughed long and loudly at the bear and asked

42
00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 1: if the fishing was good. Some dogs heard the fox

43
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:27,799
Speaker 1: and came tearing through the thick underbrush. They saw the

44
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:32,440
Speaker 1: fox and started after him. The fox slyly led them

45
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:36,440
Speaker 1: onto the frozen river toward the bear. The bear saw

46
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:39,840
Speaker 1: them coming and called the fox to go around some

47
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:43,839
Speaker 1: other way. The fox made believe he did not hear,

48
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:46,960
Speaker 1: and came straight on to the bear to ask him

49
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:50,600
Speaker 1: what he had said. The dogs leaped upon the bear.

50
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:55,680
Speaker 1: The bear struggled, He gave one great pull and freed

51
00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:59,360
Speaker 1: himself from the ice. He struck at the dog so

52
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 1: fiercely with his great paws that they soon left him

53
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:07,200
Speaker 1: and went on after the fox. Dogs had been running

54
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:11,600
Speaker 1: after foxes ever since. When the bear got his breath,

55
00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 1: he stood up and looked around at his tail. He

56
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:19,039
Speaker 1: found he had only a small piece left. Most of

57
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:22,120
Speaker 1: his tail had been left in the ice. This is

58
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:26,080
Speaker 1: why bears have short tails, and why dogs still love

59
00:04:26,240 --> 00:05:04,680
Speaker 1: to chase the fox such
