THE FOX IN THE WELL

One day a fox fell into a well. He jumped and

jumped but he could not get out. The well was too
deep. Soon he began to feel cold and hungry.
Suddenly there was a noise from above. A
goat had come to drink from the well. It looked in
and saw the fox. “Why, what are you doing down
there, Mr. Fox?” asked the goat.
The fox was very cunning. Quickly, he
thought of a way to trick the goat. “Oh, I’m drinking,”
he said.
“Down there? But there’s water in the bucket up here.”
“Yes, I know,” said the fox. “But the water
down here is much sweeter. Why don’t you
come down and taste it for yourself?”
 “I think I will do that.” And the silly animal jumped into
the well.
At once the fox leapt on to the goat’s back.
And from there he soon jumped out of the well.
“Hey! Where are you going?” cried the goat.
“What about me? How am I going to get out of
here?”
“Ah-ha, you silly goat,” laughed the fox.
“Don’t you think you should have thought of that
before you jumped in?”
And still laughing to himself he ran off, leaving the
poor goat in the well.

B. Explaining the students What to Do

Say: What story is all about? Basing from the story

read, answer the following questions. Answer it in a
story map.

2. Who came passing one day?
3. What convinced the goat to go down the
well?
4. How did the fox get out of the well?
5. What is the moral of the story?
C. Modelling

Direct the pupils’ attention to the lesson title. Ask the pupil to read the big
idea and tell the pupils that by the end of the lesson, they must realize
that when doing something, they must be aware of purpose. The lesson
will help them in realizing that.

When listening to story being read, we should listen carefully and pay
attention to the details of the story. In this way we can identify the elements of
a literary text. We could also take down notes while listening and reading. The
elements of a literary text are the character, setting, and plot, conflict, and
theme.

D. Independent Practice

Group Activity
