A fox was chased by a tiger in a forest. 🦊
He ran as fast as he could in order to save his life. 🦊
But suddenly, he fell into a well which was covered with shrubs that obstructed his vision, as he was running. 🦊
He could not come out of the well. Now the fox knew that death had been waiting for him in that well. 🦊
He was sad. 🦊
Soon the fox heard a goat bleating nearby. 🦊
He shouted loudly from inside the well to call the goat. 🦊
The goat came near the well and asked him, “Friend, what are you doing there in the 🦊 well?” 🦊
The fox said, “Friend, have you not heard that a drought is soon coming in the country, and there will be no water anywhere? 🦊
So I’ve come here to enjoy the sweet water of this well. 🦊
The water is so tasty that I do not even feel hungry. 🦊
Why don’t you join me, friend? 🦊
Just jump into the well, and give me a pleasant company! 🦊
” The foolish goat believed the fox and agreed to join her friend. 🦊
As she jumped, the clever fox placed one of his feet on her horn and escaped from the well. 🦊
Now the poor goat was inside the well. 🐐
She cried, “Friend, why do you leave me here alone? Come back.” 🐐
The fox said, “Friend, you should have looked before you had leaped into the well to see if it was possible for you to come out of it. 🦊
You did not do that, and hence let you suffer.” 🦊
The fox left the place, and the goat lay in the well counting the days for her inevitable death. 🦊
A friend should be a master at guessing and keeping still.
