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 cunning 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 cunning idea of
the fox and did as the fox said and help 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.”
Moral:
Look before you leap. Do not just blindly walk in to anything without
thinking.
