A FOX one day fell into a deep well and
could find no way out. A thirsty Goat,
came to the same well, and seeing the Fox, asked if the water was good.
"It's wonderful," shouted the fox from the
bottom of the well. "Come on down."
The Goat, thinking only of his thirst, jumped down, but
just as he drank, he realised he was trapped!!
The Fox had an idea.
"If," said he, "you will place your
forefeet upon the wall and bend your head, I will run up your back and escape, and will
help you out afterwards."
The Goat agreed and the Fox leaped upon his back.
Steadying himself with the Goat's horns, he safely reached the top of the well and ran off
as fast as he could.
"What about me?" shouted the Goat from the
bottom of the well.
But the Fox was long gone, and the Goat very wet.
