A FOX AND A FOOLISH GOAT
A fox was once passing by a well after sunset. It had been dark. So he did not
notice the well. He slipped down into the well. He remained there all the night
and suffered much. Somehow, he saved himself from drowning. Near that well
there lived a villager. The villager had a goat. The goat was quite foolish. In
the morning, while grazing about, she went near the well. The fox on facing
the goat said, "Come friend, you have not tasted such clear and sweet water
in your life as you may land in this well. I have drunk and drunk and yet I want

2. to drink." The foolish goat was a bit thirsty. She could not check herself. She
at once jumped into the well. The fox got upon the head of the goat and got
out of the well.

A Hare and A Tortoise
There was a hare. He was very proud of his swift movement. Once he saw
a tortoise. He knocked at it for its slow movement. He said to the tortoise,
"O slow-footed fellow, will you run a race with me ? It will be a nice plan for
us .The tortoise agreed to the proposal of the hare. They fixed a goal and
started on their race. The hare covered half the way. Then he looked back
and stopped. He said to himself, "The tortoise is yet far behind. Let me
have some rest for a while." Saying this he lay there and soon fell asleep.
The tortoise moved on and did not stop even for a moment. So it reached
the goal. The hare awoke and found that the tortoise had already reached
the goal. The hare was ashamed and went away silently.
Moral : SLOW AND STEADY WINS THE RACE
