"Look before you leap" is well-known proverb.It means before doing anything,we should carefully judge the results of our action.Before we engage anything new,we should make careful preparation.If we do something in haste without thinking about it properly and carefully,we may meet unforeseen dangers and difficulties.
Once a fox fell into a shallow well.He cursed himself for his carelessness.He tried his best to come out of the well but he could not.He began to think about some means to get out of the well.Meanwhile ,a thirsty goat happened to come there.By chance,the goat peeped into the well and was suprised to see the fox there.
She said to him,"Hello uncle,what are u doing here"?The fox replied,"Dear nephew,the water of the well is very sweet and cold.Therefore,i daily come here to drink it.If u taste it,u will surely enjoy it very much.So come down and have a drink."The goat was very foolish.She,at once,jumped into the well.The fox at once got over the back of the goat and jumped out of the well.The goat could not come out of the well.Now the goat realized her folly.
She requested the fox to help her out.The fox said,"You are foolish.You should not have jumped into the well without thinking about how to come out of it."Now go on bleeting and your master will come to get you out."In the meantime,you may enjoy the sweet water of the well.He bade goodbye to the goat and ran away to the jungle.He left the goat in trouble.
Moral:
- Look before you leap
- Haste makes waste
