The Fox and The Goat
In a faraway jungle, the rivers and streams dried up by the
wildfire, and any water left in them was unfit for drinking.
The forest animals that managed to escape the fire had no
option but to cautiously enter a small village nearby in
search of water and food.
One day, a thirsty fox sneaked into the nearby village to try
its luck at finding some water to drink. The fox walked
about in the village but couldn’t find a single drop of water
to drink.
Disappointed, the fox looked up at the sky to check if there
was any sign of rain. All the fox saw was the bright moon
that seemed to be smiling at his misery. The fox kept
walking and walking and, much to his surprise came upon
an old well.
“Well! Look what we have here?!” the fox exclaimed and
walked towards the old well, all the while looking at the
moon and smirking.
The moment the fox put his head down to drink the water
in the well, he lost his control and fell with a splash into the
deep well. He tried his best to get out of it, but all his efforts
were in vain. He had no option but to wait for someone to
come in the morning and help him out of the old well.
