A thirsty Fox looks for water. Fox: It’s so hot today. And I’m so thirsty. There’s no water anywhere. The Fox keeps looking. Far away, he sees something. Fox: Wait! What’s that? I think it’s a well! I’m saved! There must be water there. The Fox runs towards the well. He is very happy. Fox: I was right. There’s lots of water here. It looks so cold and delicious. But how can I get the water? The well looks very deep. Oh, what shall I do? The Fox thinks and thinks. Fox: I can’t stand it anymore. I’m too thirsty. I’ll just jump in. Here I go! (splash) The Fox jumps into the well. Fox: It’s so cool in here. The water tastes so fresh and cold. I can drink it all day. But wait a minute. This well is deeper than I thought. My paws can’t reach the top. Oh my! Now I’m in big trouble. How can I get out?There’s no one nearby. There’s no one to help me. What have I done? Boo-hoo. The Fox is very scared. He can’t think of a way to get out of the well. He cries all morning. Then he hears a familiar voice from far away. Suddenly, he has a good idea. Goat: I’m thirsty in hot. Where is the water? I need a drink right now. The goat sees the same well. He walks towards the well. Goat: Ah ha! There’s a well! I found some water! The goat gets closer to the well. He hears a familiar voice. Fox: How are you today, Goat? Goat: What was that? Who said that? I don’t see anyone around. Where did the voice come from? The Goat keeps looking around, but can’t find anyone. Goat: This is strange. I heard a voice, but there’s no one around. Fox: I’m here, Goat. I’m inside the well. Goat: Inside the well? Whose voice was that? The Goat looks into the well. Goat: Oh my goodness, Fox! What are you doing down there? Fox: I was thirsty. So I came down here for a drink. Goat: How is the water? Is it fresh and cold? Fox: Of course. The water down here is fantastic. It’s the best water I’ve ever tasted. And I’m enjoying it all by myself. Goat: Well, um, I’m thirsty, too. Can I come down and join you? I just need one drink. Fox: Well, let me think about it. The Fox pretends to be thinking about something. Goat: Come on, Fox. I’m your friend. Let me come down. Fox: Well, all right. Just this once. I didn’t want to share the water with anyone. But since you are my friend, You are too generous. I’m coming down now. The Goat also jumps into the well and makes a big splash. Fox: Welcome, Goat. Try the water. How is it? Goat: Mmmm… It is delicious. This is the best water in the world. Thank you for sharing it with me. Fox: It’s nothing. I’m just glad you like it. But don’t you think it’s too crowded in here? It was fine when I was alone. Now it’s too small. Goat: I’m sorry. Should I get out now? Fox: No, it’s okay. I’ve had enough water for today. I’ll be leaving now. You can drink some more. Goat: Thank you, Fox. You are too kind. Fox: Keep drinking. I’ll just jump on your back and climb out now. The Fox steps on the Goat’s back and swiftly get out of the well. Fox: Thank goodness. I’m out. Goat: (echoing voice from the well ) Are you there, Fox? I am finished drinking. I want to get out now. Help me up, please. Fox: I’m sorry, Goat. I can’t help you. If I do, I might fall in again. Goat: Please help me out. I’m not thirsty anymore. And it’s getting dark in here. Fox: That’s too bad, Goat. You should have thought of way out before. Next time, think before you act, okay? I’m busy. I must be going. Goat: Don’t leave me here alone, Fox! I’m afraid. How can I get out by myself? Fox: Trick another foolish animal like yourself. Good luck. Good-bye. MORALThink carefully before you act. |
