Oban's Myths & Legends
How the Bear lost his Tail (continued)
All that was left was a small stump where his beautiful
long, black tail had been.
"My tail! My beautiful tail" he wailed. Fox, the trickster, ran away laughing.
And that's why bears now only have short tails. If you ever hear a bear groaning, it's because he remembers his big, black, beautiful tail.
And it's also the reason why you won't see Bear and Fox having lunch together! Fox knows he would be lunch.
