THE FOX IN THE WELL

One day a fox fell into a well. He jumped and jumped but he could not get
out. The well was too deep. Soon he began to feel cold and hungry.
Suddenly there was a noise from above. A goat had come to drink from the
well. It looked in and saw the fox. “Why, what are you doing down there, Mr. Fox?”
asked the goat.
The fox was very cunning. Quickly, he thought of a way to trick the goat.
“Oh, I’m drinking,” he said.
“Down there? But there’s water in the bucket up here.”
“Yes, I know,” said the fox. “But the water down here is much sweeter.
Why don’t you come down and taste it for yourself?”
“I think I will do that.” And the silly animal jumped into the well.
At once the fox leapt on to the goat’s back. And from there he soon jumped
out of the well.
“Hey! Where are you going?” cried the goat. “What about me? How am I
going to get out of here?”
“Ah-ha, you silly goat,” laughed the fox. “Don’t you think you should have
thought of that before you jumped in?”

break time for Grade V-Coral. Children line up in a queue to go the canteen to have
their recess.
At the canteen, the children lined up in a queue waiting for their turn to buy
their food. Luke, a Grade 3 pupil rushed in front of the queue and shouted at the

their turn. You should do the same.” said the canteen manager.
