 The Fox and the Goat
One hot sunny day, a thirsty fox was looking down into a deep
well, and fell in. "I wanted some water, but not this much" said the fox
to himself, as he splashed around in the water.
"Now how am I going to get out of here" he said, looking up at
the top of the well.
Just then a thirsty goat came to the well. He looked down and
was surprised to see the fox in the water.
"What are you doing down there?" asked the goat.
"I came down to get some of this wonderful cool water" said the
fox, pretending everything was alright.
"Come on down and try some. It's the best water you'll ever
taste" he shouted up at the goat. 'And there isn't any more water for
miles."
"I'm thirsty, and that water does look so good" thought the goat.
"OK. Look out, I'm coming down," the goat shouted to the fox as
he jumped down into the well.
Just as the goat started drinking, the fox said, "There's one small
problem. The top of the well is so high it's going to be hard getting out
of here. But don't worry I have a plan."

"If," he said to the goat "you put your front feet on the wall of
the well, I'll run up your back and jump up to the top. Once I'm out I'll
help you to get out too."
The goat did as he was told and the fox leapt onto his back,
jumped up on to his horns, and then scrambled up out of the well.
"That was a really good plan" said the fox.
"See you later" he said, looking down at the goat.
"But, what about me?" cried the goat from the bottom of the
well.
"If you had any brains you would never have gone down there
until you had worked out how to get out." said the fox.
"Have you ever heard the expression, look before you leap?"
laughed the fox as he ran away.
