"Very well," said the Goat who was a simple creature,
"that is a good plan. How I wish I had your brains, to be sure!"
He put his forefeet on the wall, and the Fox easily climbed out,
and started to go on his way.
"Wait a moment," said the Goat, "you forgot to help me out."
"You foolish fellow!" said the Goat, "you ought to have thought how you
would get out before you jumped down. Look before you leap. Good-bye!"
The poor Goat put his head up, and said, "True, I see too late that I have
lent you a stick to break my own head with." |
