A Fox and a Goat

It was a hot summer day. A fox and a goat were very thirsty. Looking around for a place to quench their thirst, they came across a well that had very little water in it. They both were so thirsty that they got down into it and quenched their thirst. Having had their fill, the goat wondered how they would get out of the well.

The fox said, “Don’t worry. You leave that to me. All you have to do is stand firm, while I’ll climb up with your help. Once I get out, I’ll pull you up.”

The goat unaware of the fox’s shrewdness, agreed and soon the fox was out. Once out, it went It’s way, leaving the poor goat behind.
