 Fox and the Goat

  

    Once upon a time there was a fox that was roaming around in the dark. Unfortunately, he fell into a well because of the darkness. He tried his best to come out but he failed. So, he had no other alternative but to remain there till the next morning. The next day, a goat came there. She peeped into the well and saw the fox inside.

“What are you doing there, Mr. Fox?” the goat asked.

“I came here to drink water. It is the best I have ever tasted. Come and see,” the sly fox replied.

Without thinking even for a while, the goat jumped into the well to quench her thirst. Not long after that, she realized her condition and looked for a way to get out. But just like the fox, she also found herself helpless to come out from the well.

Then the fox said, “I have an idea. You stand on your hind legs and I’ll climb on your head to get out. Then I will help you come out too.” The goat was too innocent to understand the trick played by the fox and did what the fox said.

While walking his way out, the fox said, “If you had been intelligent enough, you would never have got in without seeing how to get out.”

Moral: Look before you leap.  Do not just blindly walk in to anything without thinking.
