The fox and the goat

I think the moral of this story is that if you put something in a certain way that attract people, they will believe you, or follow you. Mark Twain wrote something similar to this in his book about Tom Sawyer. Tom was stuck whitewashing a fence, but when his friends came by he made it seem fun and didn't allow his friends to try. That made all his friends want to whitewash the fence and Tom got out of work. In this case the fox made it seem as though he was preparing for a drought so the goat believed him and the fox got out of the well. That is the maxim of the story, to me.
