Aesop and Copenhagen
Nicolas Loris /
A lesson on Copenhagen from George Mason professor Charles Rowley, who recently started blogging:
A fox, caught in a trap, escaped by tearing off his bushy tail.
After that, the other animals mocked him, making him feel so ashamed that his life was a burden to him. He therefore worked out a plan to make all the other foxes the same as him, so that in their common loss he might better conceal his own deprivation.
