The Fox in the
Well

A fox once fell into the well. He tried to jump


out but each time he did, he fell back down.
By and by a goat passed by. Looking into the
well, he saw the fox. “Hello,” he called. “What
are you doing down there?”
“Drinking some water of course!” replied the fox.
“Is it good?” asked the goat.
“Good? It is the best water I ever tasted
in my whole life,” answered the fox, drinking
a gulp of water.
Without a second thought, the goat jumped
in.
After drinking some water, he looked about for a
way to get out of the well. “How do we get out of
here?
“he asked the fox?
“I know what we can do,” said the fox.
Looking at the goat from the corner of his eye.
“Stand on your hind legs. Plant your fore legs
firmly against the side of the well. I’ll climb on
your back, and I’ll step on your horns. Then I
can get out. When I’m out, I’ll help you get out
too.”
“That’s a good idea!” said the goat happily as
he did what the fox told him to do.
The fox climbed on the goat’s back and
horns.
Then he jumped out of the well and started on his
way.
“Hey!” shouted the goat. “Help me out of
here.
You promised to help me.”
“You silly goat,” said the fox. You should
have thought of that before you jumped in. Next
time, look before you leap.”

Fill up the SWBS Chart meet the details in the
story “A Raven and a Swan”.
A Raven, which you know is black as coal,
was envious of the Swan, because her feathers
were as white as the purest snow.
The foolish bird got the idea that if he lived
like the Swan, swimming and diving all day long
and eating the weeds and plants that grow in the
water,
his feathers would turn white like the Swan's.
So he left his home in the woods and fields
and flew down to live on the lakes and in the
marshes.
But though he washed and washed all day
long, almost drowning himself at it, his feathers
remained as black as ever. And as the water
weeds he ate did not agree with him, he got
thinner and thinner, and at last he died.
