    One day a fox fell into a well and could not scramble 1 out again.The water was not very deep,but the sides of the well were smoothand were covered with slippery moss 2 so that every time the fox struggled up a few inches,he slipped down again with a splash into the water.After some time a goat came along and peered curiously 3 over the edge.“What are you doing down there,fox?”he asked.The fox saw his chance to escape.“Are you quite alone?”he asked mysteriously.“I don't want everyone to come at once.But the water in this well is so good that I just cannot stop drinking it.Come on in and try it.You'll see it is better than anything you ever tasted before.”

    Without thinking twice the goat jumped in and began to drink eagerly.After a while he had had enough to drink and he looked round to see how he could get out.“No problem at all,my dear fellow,”said the fox,“you stand on your hind 4 legs and I'll climb on your back.If I balance myself on your horns I'll just about reach the ground.Then I'll lean over and pull you up after me.”

    So the goat stood on his hind legs and the fox climbed quickly out of the well.Trotting 5 off across the fields he called out to the goat:

    “If you have as much sense in your head as you have hairs in your beard,my friend,you would have made sure you could get out of that well before ever you jumped in.”

    Look before you leap.Exercises:
