A FOX one day fell into a deep well and could find no means of escape.  A Goat, overcome with thirst, came to the same well, and seeing the Fox, inquired if the water was good.  Concealing his sad plight under a merry guise, the Fox indulged in a lavish praise of the water, saying it was excellent beyond measure, and encouraging him to descend.  The Goat, mindful only of his thirst, thoughtlessly jumped down, but just as he drank, the Fox informed him of the difficulty they were both in and suggested a scheme for their common escape.  "If," said he, "you will place your forefeet upon the wall and bend your head, I will run up your back and escape, and will help you out afterward."  The Goat readily assented and the Fox leaped upon his back.  Steadying himself with the Goat's horns, he safely reached the mouth of the well and made off as fast as he could.  When the Goat upbraided him for breaking his promise, he turned around and cried out, "You foolish old fellow! If you had as many brains in your head as you have hairs in your beard, you would never have gone down before you had inspected the way up, nor have exposed yourself to dangers from which you had no means of escape."  

 

What is the moral of the story? Think things through before taking action. Don't be impulsive.

Basically, the theme is think before you leap.

Answer:

To look before you leap.

Explanation:

"...The Fox immediately jumped on her back, and by putting his foot on her long horns managed to jump up to the edge of the well. “Good-bye, friend,” said the Fox, “if you had brains equal to the number of hairs in your beard you would not have jumped down without a way back up.”

Think twice before you act. Look before you leap.

Ierofanga [76]

The death of a loved one is a disaster that nature cannot heal.

Answer: A

Explanation

Nature will not heal that wound that is left after losing a loved one.

Even though nature creates fascinating patterns, it will not close the wound left.

However, time will be the determinant of the healing process.

This is because the effect of losing someone is eternal, and it is time that will heal the wounds.

Ultimately, nature will only create shorter healing, but once the one forgets about life, the injuries will be still fresh.

Therefore nature does not repair everything.

How does Kennedy want his audience to respond to this difference
VashaNatasha [74]
The celebration was not a VICTORY OF PARTY but a CELEBRATION OF FREEDOM.
Unlike in the American Revolution, every celebration was a victory party against their enemies. The Celebration of freedom is a party that everyone is enjoying because of their forebears fought for freedom against the oppressors.
Here is a part of the speech that will signifies the difference and call to action to the men of today:
"The world is very different now. For man holds in his mortal hands the power to abolish all forms of human poverty and all forms of human life. And yet the same revolutionary beliefs for which our forebears fought are still at issue around the globe--the belief that the rights of man come not from the generosity of the state but from the hand of God.
