The next morning at dawn, the fox heard someone asking,

“Why are you down the well, Mr Fox?”

The fox looked up and saw an innocent-looking goat

The fox thought for some time and then replied cunningly,

“Oh! I was trying to drink as much water as I could from this

old well. This is the finest water I have ever tasted in my

whole life. My dear, why don’t you try it?”

The thirsty goat followed what the sly fox said and jumped

into the well to drink the water to his heart’s content. The

next moment, the goat found himself in the same difficult

situation as the fox.

The innocent goat asked the fox, “How do we get out of

here?”

“I have an excellent idea,” said the sly fox, “You stand on

your hind legs, and I’ll climb on your strong horns and get

out of the well. Then, I will help you climb up as well”.

The innocent goat did as he was told, and the cunning fox

climbed out of the old well and ran away without turning

back even for a moment.

Before running away, the sly fox said to the innocent goat,

“Had you been intelligent enough, you would never have

got in without thinking about how to get out this old well.”

The poor goat got struck in the well.
