#6:

The story I read is called “The Birds and the Foxes” and is about a sanctuary that birds built to keep the foxes out. The foxes thought that it was an unnatural boundary but they prefer to “civilize” another type of animals, ducks and geese. But it came to a time when they went out of food, because “civilize” was a “big word” to say eat, and they have to “civilize” the birds now. So they claimed that the fence was a menace to the peace and standing by that they killed the birds saying they had liberated them, referring to Lincoln’s famous speech. The moral is that sometimes people use big words to hide the real meaning and even when the others know their intention they let them go on.
