A thirsty Fox looks for water.
It's so hot today. And I'm so thirsty. There's no water anywhere.
The Fox keeps looking. Far away, he sees something.
Wait ! What's that? I think it's a well. I'm saved! There must be water there.
The Fox runs towards the well. He is very happy.
I was right. There's lots of water here. It looks so cold and delicious. But how can I get the water? The well looks very deep. Oh, what shall1 I do ?
The Fox thinks and thinks.
I can't stand it anymore. I'm too thirsty. I'll just jump in. Here I go! (splash2)
The Fox jumps into the well.
It is so cool in here. The water tastes so fresh and cold. I can drink it all day. But wait a minute. This well is deeper than I thought. My paws3 can't reach the top. Oh my ! Now I'm im big trouble. How can I get out? There's no one nearly. There's no one to help me. What have I done! Boo – hoo.
The Fox is very scared. He can't think of a way to get out of the well. He cries all morning. Then he hears a familiar4 voice from far away. Suddenly, he has a good idea.
I'm thirsty and hot. Where is the water? I need a drink right now. The Goat5 sees the same well.He walks towards the well. Ahha! There's a well, I found some water! I can have a drink there. Thank goodness6!
The Goat gets closer to the well. He hears a familiar voice.
How are you today, Goat?
What was that? Who said that? I don't see anyone around. Where did the voice come from?
The Goat keeps looking around. But can't find anyone. This is strange. I hear a voice , but there's no one around.
I'm here , Goat , I'm inside the well.
Inside the well? Whose voice was that? The Goat looks into the well. Oh my goodness, Fox! What are you doing down there?
I was thirsty. So I came down here for a drink.
How is the water? Is it fresh and cold?
Of course. The water down here is fantastic. It's the best water I've ever tasted. And I'm enjoying it all by myself.
Well, um, I'm thirsty, too. Can I come down and join you? I just need one drink.
Well, let me think about it. The Fox pretends7 to thinking8 about something.
Come on, Fox, I'm your friend. Let me come down.
Well, all right, Just this once. I didn't want to share the water with anyone. But since you are my friend, I'll let you come down.
Thanks a lot, Fox. You are too generous9, I'm coming down now.
The Goat also jumps into the well and makes a big splash.
Welcome, Goat, Try the water, How is it?
Mmm… it is delicious. This is the best water in the world. Thank you for sharing it with me.
It's nothing. I'm just glad you like it. But don't you think it's too crowded in here? It was fine when I was alone. Now it's too small.
I'm sorry, shall I get out now?
No, it's okay. I've had enough water for today. I'll be leaving now. You can drink some more.
Thank you, Fox, You are too kind.
Keep drinking. I'm just jump on your back and climb out now.
The Fox steps on the Goat's back and swiftly10 gets out of the well.
Thank goodness, I'm out.
(echoing voice from the well) Are you there, Fox? I'm finished drinking. I want to get out now. Help me up. please.
I'm sorry, Goat, I can't help you. If I do. I might fall in again.
Please help me out, I'm not thirsty anymore. And it's getting dark in here.
That's too hard, Goat. You should have thought of a way out before. Next time, think before you act, okay? I'm busy ,I must be going.
Do't leave me here alone, Fox. I'm afraid, How can I get out by myself?
Trick another foolish11 animal like yourself. Good luck, Good-bye.

成语名称买椟还珠汉语拼音mǎidúhuánzhū成语释义椟：木匣；珠：珍珠。买下木匣，退还了珍珠。比喻没有眼力，取舍不当。成语出处《韩非子·外储说左上》：“楚人有卖其珠于郑者，为木兰之柜，熏以桂椒，缀以珠玉，饰以玫瑰，辑以羽翠。郑人买其椟而还其珠。”使用例句不善读书者，昧菁英而矜糟粕。买椟还珠，虽多奚益？改用白话，决无此病。★清·裘廷梁《论白话为维新之本》一个楚国人，他有一颗漂亮的珍珠，他打算把这颗珍珠卖出去。为了卖个好价钱，他便动脑筋要将珍珠好好包装一下，他觉得有了高贵的包装，那么珍珠的“身份”就自然会高起来。这个楚国人找来名贵的木兰，又请来手艺高超的匠人，为珍珠做了一个盒子（即椟），用桂椒香料把盒子熏得香气扑鼻。然后，在盒子的外面精雕细刻了许多好看的花纹，还镶上漂亮的金属花边，看上去，闪闪发亮，实在是一件精致美观的工艺品。这样，楚人将珍珠小心翼翼地放进盒子里，拿到市场上去卖。到市场上不久，很多人都围上来欣赏楚人的盒子。一个郑国人将盒子拿在手里看了半天，爱不释手，终于出高价将楚人的盒子买了下来。郑人交过钱后，便拿着盒子往回走。可是没走几步他又回来了。楚人以为郑人后悔了要退货，没等楚人想完，郑人已走到楚人跟前。只见郑人将打开的盒子里的珍珠取出来交给楚人说：“先生，您将一颗珍珠忘放在盒子里了，我特意回来还珠子的。”于是郑人将珍珠交给了楚人，然后低着头一边欣赏着木盒子，一边往回走去。楚人拿着被退回的珍珠，十分尴尬地站在那里。他原本以为别人会欣赏他的珍珠，可是没想到精美的外包装超过了包装盒内的价值，以致于“喧宾夺主”，令楚人哭笑不得。郑人只重外表而不顾实质，使他做出了舍本求末的不当取舍；而楚人的“过分包装”也有些可笑。
