THE FOX AND THE GOAT
Once a thirsty fox happened, to fall into a well. He tried his best to get out of it but in vain. After a while, a goat came there for a drink. As the goat peeped in, he saw the fox inside the well. “What are you doing there at the bottom of the well?” asked the goat.
The cunning fox was glad to see the goat. He knew the goat to be easy-going and foolish. With ready wit he said, “Dear friend, the water of the well is very sweet. I have never drunk this type of water in my life. The water is so sweet that I don't wish to get out of this well.”
The foolish goat believed it completely. He said. “Then will I jump into it?” “Of course, I cordially invite you to come here and drink the sweet water.”
The Innocent goat instantly jumped into it. As soon as the goat jump ed into it, the cunning fox climbed upon its back and then jumped out of the well.
Thus the cunning, selfish fox managed to overcome the critical situation leaving the foolish innocent goal in imminent danger.
