1. The narrator is a Gumiho, a forest fox spirit, who was born without a tail but has grown six tails through experiences and lessons.
2. The narrator recently learned they have a voice and used it for the first time to say "Sorry" to a young boy after stealing his fish.

4. The narrator also learned to make clothes from grasses and weave garlands of flowers for their hair to appear more human.
