The Fox and the Goat
By an unlucky chance a Fox fell into a deep well from which he
could not get out.A Goat passed by shortly afterwards,and asked the
Fox what he was doing down there."Oh,have you not heard?" said the
Fox; "there is going to be a great drought,so I jumped down here in order
to be sure to have water by me.Why don't you come down too?" The
Goat thought well of this advice,and jumped down into the well.But the
Fox immediately jumped on her back,and by putting his foot on her long
horns managed to jump up to the edge of the well."Good-bye,friend,"
said the Fox,"remember next time,
"Never trust the advice of a man in difficulties."
掉在井里的狐貍和公山羊
一只狐貍失足掉到了井里,不論他如何掙扎仍沒法爬上去,只好呆在那里.公山羊覺得口渴極了,來到這井邊,看見狐貍在井下,便問他井水好不好喝?狐貍覺得機會來了,心中暗喜,馬上鎮(zhèn)靜下來,極力贊美井水好喝,說這水是天下第一泉,清甜爽口,并勸山羊趕快下來,與他痛飲.一心只想喝水信以為真的山羊,便不假思索地跳了下去,當他咕咚咕咚痛飲完后,就不得不與狐貍一起共商上井的辦法.狐貍早有準備,他狡猾地說："我倒有一個方法.你用前腳扒在井墻上,再把角豎直了,我從你后背跳上井去,再拉你上來,我們就都得救了."公山羊同意了他的提議,狐貍踩著他的后腳,跳到他背上,然后再從角上用力一跳,跳出了井口.狐貍上去以后,準備獨自逃離.公山羊指責狐貍不信守諾言.狐貍回過頭對公山羊說："喂,朋友,你的頭腦如果像你的胡須那樣完美,你就不至于在沒看清出口之前就盲目地跳下去."
聰明的人應當事先考慮清楚事情的結(jié)果,然后才去做.
