"The Fox That Wanted Nine Golden Tails" by Kathleen Gray Nelson is an early 1900s children's fantasy story set in Japan. It centers on a fox with big dreams: he wants to live so peacefully for a thousand years that he'll earn nine golden tails, the ultimate sign of achievement. The story looks at what happens when you really, really want something, and the choices you make to get it. The clever fox goes on exciting adventures, even meeting a dragon, and tries to become human, all to get those tails. But once he finally gets what he wished for, he learns that it's not as great as he thought it would be. The story makes you think about what's really important and how to be happy.
