一只名叫弗雷德的狐狸，不小心掉进了一口深深的井里。
他挣扎着想爬出来，但井壁太滑，他怎么也上不来。
于是，弗雷德只好坐在井底，等待救援。
这天，一只叫乔治的公山羊正在寻找水源，他口渴极了。
突然，他发现了一口井，而井底正坐着弗雷德。
乔治问弗雷德井水是否好喝。
弗雷德心里暗喜，他知道机会来了。
他镇定下来，告诉乔治这井水是全世界最好喝的水，清甜爽口。
他还鼓励乔治快点下来，一起畅饮。
乔治一心只想喝水，没有多想就跳进了井里。
他大口大口的喝着井水，非常满足。
然而，当他喝完后，才发现自己无法爬出井去。
于是，他和弗雷德一起想办法。
弗雷德眼珠一转，想到了一个主意。
他说：“乔治，你可以用你的前脚扒在井壁上，然后把你的角竖直起来。
我就可以踩着你的后脚，跳到你的背上，再从你的角上用力一跳，跳出井口。
然后再拉你上来，我们就都得救了。”
乔治觉得这个主意不错，便按照弗雷德说的做了。
弗雷德顺利的跳出了井口。
然而，他并没有打算拉乔治上去，而是准备独自离开。
乔治指责弗雷德不信守诺言。
弗雷德回过头对乔治说：
“朋友，如果你的头脑像你的胡须那样完美，你就不会在没看清出口之前就盲目地跳下去。”
这个故事告诉我们，聪明的人应该先考虑清楚事情的结果，然后再去做决定。
A fox named Fred accidentally fell into a deep well.
He struggled to climb out, but the walls of the well were too slippery and he couldn't get up.
So Fred had no choice but to sit at the bottom of the well and wait for rescue.
On this day, a billy goat named George was looking for water. He was very thirsty.
Suddenly, he found a well and sitting at the bottom of it was Fred.
George asked Fred if the well water was good to drink.
Fred was secretly happy. He knew his chance had come.
He calmed down and told George that the well water was the best in the world, sweet and refreshing.
He also encouraged George to hurry down and enjoy it together.
George only wanted to drink water, so without thinking much, he jumped into the well.
He drank deeply from the well water and was very satisfied.
However, when he finished drinking, he found that he couldn't climb out of the well.
So he and Fred thought of a way together.
Fred's eyes lit up with an idea.
He said, 'George, you can use your front hooves to grip the walls of the well and then straighten your horns.
I can step on your hind legs, jump onto your back, and then jump out of the well with force from your horns.
Then I can pull you up and we'll both be saved.'
George thought this was a good idea, so he did as Fred said.
Fred successfully jumped out of the well.
But he didn't plan to pull George up. Instead, he was ready to leave alone.
George accused Fred of not keeping his promise.
Fred turned back to George and said,
'Friend, if your brain was as perfect as your beard, you wouldn't have blindly jumped down without seeing the exit.'
This story tells us that smart people should think carefully about the consequences of things before making decisions.
