Why Stories Why the Bear Has No Tail

One night in War Eagle's lodge, Other person asked: "Why don't Bears have a tail, grandfather?"

War Eagle laughed and said: "Our people do not know why, although I have heard men of other tribes say that the Bear lost his tail while fishing.”

“I don't know how true it is, but I have been told that a long time ago the Bear was fishing in the winter, and the Fox asked him if he had any luck.”

“No,” replied the Bear, “I can't catch a fish.” “Well,” said the Fox, “if you will stick your long tail down through this hole in the ice, and sit very still, I am sure you will catch a fish.”

"So the Bear stuck his tail through the hole in the ice, and the Fox told him to sit still, till he called him; then the Fox went off, pretending to hunt along the bank.

It was mighty cold weather, and the water froze all about the Bear's tail, yet he sat still, waiting for the Fox to call him. Yes, the Bear sat so still and so long that his tail was frozen in the ice, but he didn't know it.

When the Fox thought it was time, he called: “Hey, Bear, come here quick--quick! I have a Rabbit in this hole, and I want you to help me dig him out.” OH! The Bear tried to get up, but he couldn't.

“Hey, Bear, come here--there are two Rabbits in this hole,” called the Fox.

The Bear pulled so hard to get away from the ice, that he broke his tail off short to his body. Then the Fox ran away laughing at the Bear.
