Legend The of the Beaver’s Tail As told by Stephanie Shaw Illustrated by Gijsbert van Frankenhuyzen
Long ago Beaver did not look like he does now Yes he was a chubby fellow And yes he had two very large front teeth but his tail was not wide and flat Beaver’s tail was thick with silky fur
Look at my glorious tail Beaver said to Bird I’ll bet you wish you had one like this Bird said Beaver it is a fine tail but truly all I wish for is a cozy nest for my family
