An Explanatory Tale

Aesop has a fable about a Fox and a Wolf, which explains the need to avoid distractions and stay focused on achieving objectives.

During a long hot summer a fox grew thirsty. When he tried to drink from the well he realised that the water level was too low for him to reach. He leaned further and further into the well, until with a big splash he fell head first down into the water.

He cried out for help, and had almost given up hope of rescue, when the face of a Wolf appeared at the top of the well.

“Mr. Wolf, Mr. Wolf”, cried the Fox, “Please help me out of the well, I have fallen in, and will drown without your help”.

“Oh! You poor creature”, said the Wolf, “I am sorry to see you have fallen down the well. How did that happen? How long have you been down there? Is the water cold? Is the water very deep?”

“Come, come”, said the Fox, “This is no time for talking, help me out and I will tell you all about it afterwards”

The Wolf helped the Fox escape from the well, because you should never stand idly talking, when there is work to be done.
