The Dog at the Well - Aesop's Moral Story for Kids

The Dog at the Well

"Don't go near the well! Don't play round it!" Mother Dog said to her children. And they never came to the well. But once a little puppy ran to the well and stopped there. He thought ,"Why can't we go to the well?" Then the puppy jumped into the well to look into it. As he climbed up the well, he saw another puppy. The puppy wagged his tail and the puppy in the well did the same. Then the puppy held his paws up and the same . The puppy became angry with the puppy in the well. He wanted to fight with him, so he jumped into the well. But there was no puppy to fight with, but only water. He cried for help but no one came to the well. He went down under the cold water and nobody saw him again.

Moral: Obedience and wisdom often come from those who care about us—so listen to warnings, even when they seem mysterious or restrictive at first.
