I don't want everyone to come at once, but the water in this well is so good that I just can not stop drinking it. Come on in and try it you will see it is better than anything you ever tasted before."Without thinking twice, the goat jumped in and began to drink eagerly. After a while,he had had enough to drink and he looked around to see how he could get out."No problem at all my dear fellow."said the fox."You stand on your spindlelegs and I will climb on your back, if I balance myself on your I was just about reach the ground than I'll lean over and pull you up after me." So the goat stood on his spindlelegs and the fox quickly climbed out of the well trying out of a cross of fields.
