NEar a Wells brink as a Wolf was passing, he heard a voice calling out for help, and when he looked down, he saw a Fox, who by msifortune had faln into that Well, where he was almost drowned. The Fox entreated him to fetch with all the speed he could, a Rope to pull him up: Which the Wolf promised to do, but staid to ask the manner, How he fell in? Afterwards, answered the Fox, will be time
enough to tell that: First help me out of this Danger, and then I can give you the whole Re∣lation at leisure.
When a Man is in any great Exigency, or Hazard of Life, we ought not to spend time in frivolous Questions, nor stay to upbraid him with impru∣dence or neglect, but give him the speediest assist∣ance we can.
