The Fox and The Goat

One day, a fox was walking in the dark forest. Unfortunately, he fell into a well on the way. The fox tried his best to climb up but in vain. He had no other option but to stay in the well until the next morning.

The next day, a goat came that way. It was thirsty. She noticed the fox in the well when she peeped in it. The goat asked the fox what he was doing there.

The sly fox answered that he had come there to drink water. He said it was the best water he had ever tasted and asked the goat to come and drink it.

The goat jumped into the well without any other thought, quenched her thirst, and looked for a way to get out. But she also could not come out the same as the fox.

After thinking for a while, the fox said, “I have an idea. You stand on your hind legs. I will climb on your head and get out. Then I will also help you come out.” Without knowing the cunningness of the fox, the innocent goat did as he said and helped the fox get out of the well.

While walking away, the fox said, “If you were intelligent enough, you would never have gotten in without seeing how to get out.”

Moral of The Fox and The Goat Story

• Look before you leap. Don’t just blindly walk into anything without thinking.
• Before doing anything, sit for a while, think and decide what works best for you!
