A fox fell into the well while it tried to reach down to drink water. He tried and tried but all in vain. He could not come out of the well because the walls were very high. After some time, a goat came along. Seeing the fox down, he asked him the reason for his fall. “I am enjoying the cool, pure water”, replied the Fox. “Wouldn’t you like to jump and taste it?” Without a second thought, the foolish old goat jumped down. The moment he reached the bottom, the cunning old fox leaped on to his back and scrambled to the top. Looking down at the unhappy goat, the fox laughed and said,”My dear friend, next time, be sure to look before you leap”.
