Once a fox was roaming around in the
dark. Unfortunately, he fell into a well. He tried his level best to come out
but all in vain. So, he had no other alternative but to remain there till the
next morning. The next day, a goat came that way. She peeped into the well and
saw the fox there. The goat asked “what are you doing there, Mr. Fox?”
The sly fox replied, “I came here to
drink water. It is the best I have ever tasted. Come and see for yourself.”
Without thinking even for a while, the goat jumped into the well, quenched her
thirst and looked for a way to get out. But just like the fox, she also found
herself helpless to come out.
Then the fox said, “I have an idea.
You stand on your hind legs. I’ll climb on your head and get out. Then I shall
help you come out too.” The goat was innocent enough to understand the
shrewdness of the fox and did as the fox said and helped him get out of the
well.
While walking away, the fox said,
“Had you been intelligent enough, you would never have got in without seeing
how to get out.”
