The Rabbit Falling into the Well

A cunning rabbit who accidentally fell into a deep well was looking for ways to get up. A hungry fox looking from the top of the well saw the rabbit and asked "What are you doing there?" The rabbit deceived the fox saying "Down here there are delicious and healing ice-cold waters; come you too taste this delicacy." The fox jumped into the well without thinking; the rabbit nimbly stepped on the fox's back and long ears, leaped up, and left the fox helpless in the well.
