Narrator 2： This made Fox unhappy. He thought his own long， bushy tail was the most beautiful tail of all. So Fox made a plan. 这让狐狸很不高兴。它认为自己那又长又浓密的尾巴才是最漂亮的。所以狐狸制订了一个计划。

Narrator 1： Fox knew that Bear loved fish more than anything else. So Fox cut out a hole in the ice. He fished all day long until he had a great big pile of fish. When he heard Bear coming， Fox hid the fishing pole and dipped his tail into the cold， icy water. 狐狸知道熊最喜欢鱼，所以狐狸在冰上挖了一个洞。它便整天钓鱼直到钓了一大堆。当它听说熊来了，就把钓鱼竿藏起来，把自己的尾巴放进冰凉的水里。

Bear： Fox， how did you get all those beautiful fish？ 狐狸，你是怎样得到这些美丽的鱼的？

Fox： It was easy. I caught them with my tail. I'll show you. But let's find a new place for you. I think I've caught all the fish here. 很容易。我用我的尾巴抓到的，我钓给你看，不过得给你找一个新的地方，这里的鱼都被我钓光了。

Narrator 2： So Fox led Bear to a different place and cut out a new hole. 狐狸领着熊去了另一个不同的地方，挖了一个新洞。

Fox： I will hide over there so the fish don't see me. When I see a fish grab your tail， I will shout to you. Then you can pull the fish out of the water. Don't

move until I tell you to. 我会藏在那边，这样鱼就看不见我，等我看见鱼抓住你的尾巴，就会喊你，然后你就把尾巴从水中拉出来。我不喊，你就不要动。

Narrator 2： So Bear waited and waited. He was very tired. Soon he fell asleep. 熊就等啊等啊。它很累了，很快就睡着了。
