One day a fox fell into a well, and try as he would, he could not get out. As he was trying to think what to do next, a goat came by, looking for some water.
"Friend Fox!"called the goat. "How do you find the water down there?"
"It is as good as any water could be,"said the fox. "You would do well to come down and see for yourself.""That I will,"said the goat, and he jumped down into the well.
As the goat put his head down to try the water, the fox jumped up on his back. One more jump, and he was out of the well.
"Just a minute!"called the goat, when he saw what was happening.
"How am I going to get out of here"?"You should have thought of that before you jumped down,"said the fox. "Dext time look before you leap!"And he went on his merry way.
