While reaching down to drink the water in a well one day, fox fell in. Try as he would, he could not get out again because the walls of the well were to high. 

   Not long after, a goat came along. Seeing the fox down there, he asked him the reason why. 
"I am enjoying the cool, pure water," replied the fox. "Wouldn't you like to jump down and taste it?

   Without stopping to think, the foolish old goat jumped down. No sooner had he reached the bottom than the cunning old fox leaped on to his back and scrambled to the top.

   Looking down at the unhappy goat the fox laughed and said, "Next time , friend goat, be sure to look before you leap." The goat started to cry.
