Why did the goat listen to the fox and jump into the well?

Directions: Read the passage carefully and answer the following question.

A fox was walking near a well. Somehow he slipped in. It was not a very deep well. He tried his best to get out but could not. At that time, a very thirsty goat passed by the well and saw the fox there. She asked the fox what he was doing there. The cunning fox replied that he had himself jumped into the well. I find it very cool and pleasant. If you want to drink sweet and cold water, come down and experience the pleasure here. Without thinking of the result she jumped into the well. The fox at once jumped on her back, and with another jump he was out of well. The fox smiled at the poor goat and went his way leaving behind the goat to repent. Look before you leap.
