The fox and the badger became friends and began to live together. One day they got hold of dried fat tail and decided to leave it for a rainy day. Somehow the fox wanted to taste the fat tail. “Let’s play the fat tail,” suggested the cheat. “We’ll give it to whoever sees the most interesting dream.” They went to bed. The badger fell asleep immediately, and the fox got up, feasted on the fat tail and immediately began snoring. The badger woke up, woke up the fox and said: “Come on, tell me your dream.” “No, let’s start with you,” answered the fox. “I saw a wonderful dream, the kind you will never dream of.” I'm sitting at the wedding of the Khan's son. The feast is going on like a mountain, I am sitting in the place of honor, and in front of me are all kinds of dishes. - Did I see that one? the same dream,” the fox sighed, “you were the most respected guest at the wedding.” And when they surrounded you with treats, I woke up from hunger and thought: “Why does a well-fed badger need a pitiful fat tail?!”
