The dog lived near a field with its litter. The mother dog played
with the litter anywhere they wanted. The mother warned the young
ones not to go near the well. One puppy was curious to find out what
was at the well and craned its head and neck towards the well.
At that moment, the puppy's reflection appeared on the well water
and mimicked all the movements the curious puppy made at the edge of
the well. It assumed the puppy in the well was mocking it and, with
the intention of fighting, the puppy jumped into the well. Only
after it started swimming in the water did the puppy realize that
what it saw in the well was its own reflection. Not knowing how to
get out of the well, it began yelping for help.
Hearing the puppy's cries, the farmer went down into the well and
rescued the puppy, which immediately realized that it had gotten
into trouble because it hadn't listened to its mother's advice.
