A fox fell into a well and couldn’t
get out. By and by a thirsty goat came along. Seeing the fox in the well it
asked if the water was good. “Good”, said the fox. “It’s the best water I’ve
tasted in all my life. Come down and try it yourself. “The goat thought of
nothing but how thirsty he was. So he jumped into the well. When he had drunk
enough he looked around but there was no way to get out. Then the fox said, “I
have a good idea. You stand on your hind legs and put your forelegs against the
side of the well. Then I’ll climb on your back, from there I’ll step on your
horns, and I can get out. And when I’m out I’ll help you out of the well.” The
goat did as he was asked and the fox got on his back and so out of the well.
Then he coolly walked away. The goat called out loudly after him out. The
fox merely turned to him and said, “If you only has as much sense in your head
as you have hairs in your beard you wouldn’t have jumped into the well without
making sure that you could get out again.

BLUE-TONGUE LIZARD
Blue-Tongue Lizard and his wife
camped near a swamp long ago. One day Blue-Tongue Lizard went to get some food,
and while he was down at the swamp, he left his wife sitting under a shady
tree. He had not been gone very long when Taipan the Snake passed by Blue-Tongue
Lizard’s camp. Taipan saw Blue-Tongue Lizard’s wife sitting under the tree, and
he decided he would steal her away from Blue-Tongue Lizard. He made her come
with him and together they ran a long way away.
Taipan the Snake did not know that
Black Bird had been watching him, and as soon as he ran away with Blue-Tongue
Lizard’s wife, Black Bird began singing out to Blue-Tongue Lizard. ‘Your wife
is gone, Taipan has taken her away’, he cried. Blue-Tongue Lizard was still at
the swamp getting food when he heard Black Bird’s call. He went back to the
shady tree where he had left his wife and saw she was gone. He put down his bag
which was full of food and made a fire. He cooked his food and after he had
finished eating it, he went to get his spears.
He found they had all been broken by
Taipan. Then he found the tracks of his wife and Taipan, and he followed them.
Blue-Tongue Lizard followed their tracks until he came to a tree in which a
freshly killed emu had been hung. It had been killed by Taipan and left there
to be eaten that night. Blue-Tongue Lizard knew that Taipan and his wife must
be nearby and he soon found them near a river. When Taipan saw Blue-Tongue
Lizard he ran to get his spears but Blue-Tongue Lizard had already broken them.
‘We can fight with our teeth’, said
Blue-Tongue Lizard. Taipan agreed and the two of them fought wildly, each of
them trying to get a hold of the other. Until finally Blue-Tongue Lizard caught
hold of Taipan’s body in his powerful jaws, and bit him in half. With Taipan
the Snake dead, Blue-Tongue took back his wife and together they returned to
the swamp.
