Every story in Aesop's Fables is as true as possible.

A fox was caught and its tail was broken by a trap. After this humiliation, he felt humiliated and had a hard life, so he decided to persuade other foxes to remove their tails, so that everyone could cover up his shortcomings.

So he called all the foxes together and advised them to cut off their tails. He said casually, the tail is not good-looking, and it is an unnecessary burden for us to drag a heavy thing.

A fox stood up and said, "Hey, friend, if it weren't for your benefit, you wouldn't have gone to so much trouble to convince us."

Shan Ying and the fox became friends. In order to strengthen their friendship, they decided to live together. So the eagle flew to a big tree, built a nest to hatch its offspring, and the fox got into the bushes under the tree to give birth.

One day, the fox went out for food, and the eagle just stopped cooking. It flew into the bush, snatched the little fox away and had a good meal with the little eagle.

When the fox came back, he knew it was an eagle. He was saddened by the death of his child. What saddens him most is that he can't take revenge for a while, because he is an animal and can only run on the ground and can't chase birds. So it has to stand at a distance and curse the enemy, which is the only thing the weak can do.

Soon, the eagle's treachery was also severely punished. Once, someone killed sheep in the wild to sacrifice to the gods, and the eagle flew down, grabbed the mutton with fire from the altar and brought it back to the nest.

Then a gust of wind blew, and the tiny dry branches in the nest immediately ignited a fierce flame. Those fledgling eagles were burned to death and fell from trees. The fox ran over and ate all the young eagles in front of the eagle.

When the fox saw the hunter leave, he came out and left without even saying hello. The woodcutter blamed the fox for saving his life, but the fox did not even thank him.

But the eagle didn't take little dung beetles seriously at all, and ate the rabbit right in front of his eyes. Dung beetles feel extremely sorry and deeply insulted.

Since then, he has been staring at Ying Chao. As long as the eagle lays an egg, it flies high, pushes it down and breaks it into pieces. The eagle fled everywhere, and later flew to Zeus, asking for a safe place for her to have a baby.

Zeus allowed her to live on her lap in the afterlife. Knowing this, the dung beetle rolled a dung ball, flew over Zeus' head and threw it on his knee.
