Freddie the Fox was prowling around one dark night behind an actor's house when he found a window open. In he jumped and began to explore. In the corner he found a big trunk, full of the clothes the actor wore on the stage. On top was a mask with a very handsome face painted on it. "What a fine face," thought Freddie. "I should like to be as handsome as that." He sat back and looked at it for a while, swishing his tail. Then he said: "What a pity it has no brains," and jumped back out of the window.
