示例：A Cut-tailed Fox
A fox's tall was caught in a trap. When he was trying to releasg himself, he lost his whole tail.
At first he was ashamed to see the other foxes because he hag no tall, but he was determined to face his misfortune. He called a the foxes to a meeting.
When they had gotten together, the fox said that they should atl do away with their tails.
He said that their tails were very inconvenient when they met with their enemies.
He did not talk about any advantages of the tail. 「You are right" said one of the older foxes, 「but I don't think you would advise us to do away with our tails if you hadn't lost it yourself first.」
Some people advise others for their own good,and we can't trust their opinions.
譯文： 一隻斷尾狐狸
一隻狐狸的尾巴被一個陷阱夾住了，當他試著脫身的時候，掙斷了整條尾巴。
開始時，他看到其他狐狸的時候感到很羞愧，因為他沒有尾巴，後來他決定面對這種不幸，就召集了所有的狐狸開會。
大家到齊後，他極力勸說其他狐狸也割掉尾巴。他說尾巴在遭遇敵人時很不方便，尾巴一點兒作用也沒有。
可他沒有說有尾巴的任何好處。
一隻老狐狸站出來說：「你說得對。但是如果你沒有失去你的尾巴，你是不會來勸大家都割去尾巴的。」
有些人為了自己的利益而勸告他人，我們不能輕信他們的意見。
