The fox said to the goat my dear that is a very dangerous place for you. Please come out of that place. He called out, pretending to be very anxious about the goat’s safety. What will happen if you should fall? Please listen to me and come down! Here you can get all you want of the finest, tenderness green grass in the corner. You can drink water in the stream. I will give you company to come down and I will protect you from the wild animals.
The goat looked over the edge of the cliff. The goat said that, Oh my dear fox how worried you are about me. I am very happy to know that you are very kind about me. If you feel thirsty please go and drink from the stream. But I know you! It’s your own appetite you are thinking of, not mine!
It’s ok thank you. I have enough food here and I could not come there. My owner is coming with his big dog so I am waiting for him. The fox went away from that place with fear of dogs.
Moral: An invitation prompted by selfishness is not to be accepted.
