Once
in summer day, a fox was very thirsty. He looked about all day for water to
drink. At last he came to a well. The well was very deep. He tried to get
water. He tumbled in. There was a little water. So he was not drowned. He drank
all he could. Then he tried to get out. But he could not. A goat came to the
well to drink water. He saw the fox and said, “I could not get any water. Is
there water to drink?”-------------
Think
before you leap
Once
in summer day, a fox was very thirsty. He looked about all day for water to
drink. At last he came to a well. The well was very deep. He tried to get
water. He tumbled in. There was a little water. So he was not drowned. He drank
all he could. Then he tried to get out. But he could not. A goat came to the
well to drink water. He saw the fox and said, “I could not get any water. Is
there water to drink?” The cunning fox was glad to see the goat and at once
made a plan. He invited the goat and said, “My friend, this well is famous for
its sweet water. I have jumped in and I’m drinking water to my heart’s content.
If you want a taste of it yourself, please jump into it.” Without a second
thought, the foolish goat jumped into the well. The fox at once leaped on the
goat’s back, then got on to his long horns and got out at the well. Before
leaving the place, he looked into the well and said, Foolish goat, look before
you leap. The goat at last cried to come out and wanted to get help from the fox
but the fox went away.
