What is a main theme of "the fox and the goat"?

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.

If you were going to analyze a claim, what would you do
hammer [34]

Answer:

Explanation:

1. I will first Identify the claim. The claim is sometimes stated in a very general way, then elaborated on throughout the essay.

2. I will next examine the claim for qualifiers; words like "some," "many," "most of the time," etc. It can sometimes be damaging to an argument to omit qualifiers, particularly if there are also no exceptions provided. It is up to you as a reader to determine whether the writer's unqualified claim is damaging to this particular argument.

3. I will then examine the claim for an exception. After looking for qualifying words in the claim, the next step is to determine what the writer considers to be the situations in which the writer's claim doesn't apply. In other words, it is necessary to identify any exceptions the writer makes to her claim.
