THE FOX IN THE WELL

One day a fox fell into a well. He jumped and jumped

but he could not get out. The well was too deep. Soon he
began to feel cold and hungry.
Suddenly there was a noise from above. A goat had
come to drink from the well. It looked in and saw the fox.
“Why, what are you doing down there, Mr. Fox?” asked the
goat.
The fox was very cunning. Quickly, he thought of a way
to trick the goat. “Oh, I’m drinking,” he said.
“Down there? But there’s water in the bucket up here.”
