Abstract

en_US This is a transformation of the usual fable about a fox in a well. The well here becomes a pond, whose sides are steep and slippery. The goat's question is whether the water is clean. The fox's escape is not planned together with the goat, but rather a surprise step onto and off of the goat's horns. The story concludes with the fox's usual remark, which applies as well to him as it does to the goat. "You should have thought about it beforehand." The art does very good work with facial expressions here, particularly the fox's as he goes through various experiences and emotions. The stated moral is "Think before you act." The moral page has a standard framework throughout this Series #7, with insects at the corners and a child in the center. The front-cover on both sides has symbols for Green Life publishing, Green Ocean paper, and yessoy ink. The publisher's symbol seems to be two purple heads reading an open red book; it is repeated three times. There is a page of vocabulary on the inside back cover, with a picture of all six books in the series on the back cover. The pamphlet is twelve pages long, about 7½" x 6¾".
