He, al once, hit upon a lame excuse. He said to the lamb, "Why are you making the water muddy?" The lamb said, "How it can be sir? The water in the stream is flowing from you to me, not from me to you." The wolf got furious and said, 
"Then why did you give me so many words of abuse last years?" The lamb said, "Sir, I was not even born last year. How could I abuse you?" The wolf got even more furious at the remarks of the lamb. He looked daggers at him and said, "Then it must be your father or mother." Saying this, he attacked the lamb, tore him into a number of fragments.

Once upon a time, a fox felt awfully thirsty. He went about in search of water for a long time. At last, he reached a well of cold water. He was overjoyed to find it but the water'was too low to reach his mouth. He bowed low to reach the water. Unluckily, he slipped and fell into the well. As the water was not so deep, he was not drowned. He was caught in a fatal predicament. He could not come out of the well by jumping up. He was sure to die in the well. He began to cry in his trouble. By chance, a goat happened to pass by that well. When he saw the fox in the well he said, "Uncle what are you doing here?" The fox was very clever. He at once said, "The water down here is very cool and sweet. I am enjoying the swim here. You can also come down and enjoy the swim." The goat was also thirsty. He did not ponder over the situation and jumped into the well without hesitation. No sooner did the goat jump into the well; the fox jumped onto his back and came out of the well with a single jump. A frog from under the water came up and said to the goat, "Don't bleat now but repent of your folly because those who do not think before acting have to suffer."
