BIG QUESTION:
Are stories told just to entertain? What all could stories teach?

Why do you think the story starts with a question?

Which word in the paragraph 4 describes the fox? Why?

Theme of the story

Beware of strangers and tricksters

 Some people believe everything others tell them. They do not question

what they hear. Those people can be taken advantage of very easily. The bear was very gullible.

He believed Fox’s story about catching fish with his tail. Bear should have used commonsense to figure out that the Fox was tricking him.

Why does the bear keep his tail in the water for so long?

1. He wanted to catch fish to sell.
2. He wanted to catch as many fish as he could.
3. He wanted to show that he was brave.
4. He wanted to prove a point.

The fox does not tell the bear, where he got the fish. How might he have got the fish without hunting?

1. He steals from another animal or a fisherman
2. He gets them from a farmer.
3. He applies his slyness to get what he wants
4. He buys from the store.

The story says the fox is old. How did his cleverness help him live longer in a harsh environment?

1. The fox asked other animals for food.
2. The fox was able to escape from bigger animals and find food even in difficult and hard circumstances.
