  3. Fox Rids Himself of Fleas

    Share Share Post
    He gathers a mouthful of moss and swims out in the water. He puts his tail down in the water first, then he keeps going down under the water bit by bit until there is nothing left over the water but his head. When the fleas feel the water they all go to the moss in his mouth. Then the fox spits out the moss and leaves all the fleas behind him.
