The Fox and the Goat

By an unlucky chance a Fox fell into a deep well from which he could
not get out. A Goat passed shortly afterwards, and asked the Fox what he
was doing down there. "Oh, have you not heard?" said the Fox; "there is
going to be a great drought, so I jumped down here in order to be sure to
have water by me. Why don't you come down, too?"
The Goat thought well of this advice, and jumped down into the well.
But the Fox immediately jumped on her back, and by putting his foot on
her long horns managed to jump up to the edge of the well. "Good-bye,
friend," said the Fox.
Remember next time...
Never trust the advice of a man in difficulties.
