初中生課外生活寓言童話：狐貍和山羊的故事
狐貍和山羊的故事
An unlucky fox fell into a well. It was quite deep, so he could not get out by himself..
A goat passed by. He asked the fox what he was doing in the well. "Oh, have you not heard?" said the fox. "There is going to be a great drought, so I jumped down to get some water. Why don’t you come down here too?"
The goat believed his words, and jumped down into the well.
But the fox immediately jumped on the goat’s back and up to the edge of the well. "Good-bye, friend," said the fox. "Remember next time don’t trust the advice of a man in difficulties."
一只不走運的狐貍，失足掉到了井里。井很深，他無法跳出來。
一只山羊經過這里，便問狐貍在井下做什么。狐貍說：“哦，你沒有聽說嗎？這里將要大旱，因此我跳進來取水，為什么你不下來一起喝呢？”
山羊相信了狐貍的話，就真的跳進井里。狐貍立即跳上山羊的背，又一跳，跳上了井沿。
“再見，朋友，”狐貍說，“記住，不要相信一個身陷麻煩的人的建議。”
寓意: 處于困境之中的人為了擺脫困境，往往不惜犧牲別人的利益，所以他們的建議常常是不可信的。
