English Original
By an unlucky chance, a Fox fell into a deep well from which he could not get out. A Goat passed by shortly afterwards and asked the Fox what he was doing down there.
"Oh, have you not heard?" said the Fox. "There is going to be a great drought, so I jumped down here to be sure to have water by me. Why don't you come down too?"
The Goat thought well of this advice and jumped down into the well. But the Fox immediately jumped on her back and, by putting his foot on her long horns, managed to jump up to the edge of the well.
"Good-bye, friend," said the Fox. "Remember next time: never trust the advice of a man in difficulties."

一只狐狸不幸掉进了一口深井,无法脱身。不久,一只山羊路过,问狐狸在下面做什么。
“哦,你还没听说吗?”狐狸说,“将有一场大旱灾,所以我跳下来,确保身边有水。你为什么不也下来呢?”
山羊觉得这个建议很好,便跳进了井里。但狐狸立刻跳到山羊背上,踩着它的长角,成功跳到了井边。
“再见,朋友,”狐狸说,“记住下次:永远不要相信身处困境之人的建议。”
