The fox and the goat

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. The The Fox and the Goat

Oh my! Now I’m in big trouble.

Fox

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!

I can have a drink there.

Thank goodness!

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. The Fox and the Goat The Fox and the Goat

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,

I’ll let you come down.

Goat: Thanks a lot, Fox.

You are too generous.

I’m coming down now. The Fox The Fox and the Goat

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. The Fox and the Goat The Fox and the Goat

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.
