One hot day a Fox, feeling very thirsty, went out in search of water. He came to a well but, unfortunately, dropped into it. The well was deep and the walls were steep and high. The fox tried to get out, but could not do so; He looked up and saw a Goat peeping over the edge of the well.
“Hallo Mr. Fox,” said the Goat, “what are you doing there? Come out and let us play together.”
“I am drinking water here,” said the Fox, “It is so sweet and cool Come, my friend, and have a refreshing drink.”
At this the foolish Goat leapt into the well. The sly fox was too clever to miss the opportunity. He put his feet on the goat’s long horns and climbed up to the edge of the hill. He then said to the Goat, “If you had half as lunch brains as you have beard, you would have looked before you leaped.”
Moral: Look before you leap.
