The text states, "'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 afterwards.' 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.'” This means that the Goat did what he was told and did not break his promise.
  In conclusion, the Fox and the Goat are different because of their contrasting personalities. If I was the Fox I would keep my promise to the Goat. If I was the Goat I wouldn't be so kind to people that can easily fool me.

The monkey was able to free himself from his unlawful sentence by use his Lion and to play a tune. Also, scared of the animals and they all went to new places. This happened because the lion told the monkey that he would give the monkey his whole kingdom and anything he wanted but he refused and disobeyed so everyone was surprised an left because the animals scared.

To begin with, when the monkey was there, he was charged with a sentence. So, he was still allowed to keep his bow and arrow and he was also still able to play his fiddle. When he was in the middle of the tune it got quicker and quicker, he annoyed everyone and the dancers were tired. Based on the text states “... He was a master player of his time, and in addition to this came the wonderful power of his charmed fiddle. Thus, when he struck the first note of "Cockcrow" upon it, the court began at once to show an unusual and spontaneous liveliness, and before he came to the first waltzing turn of the old tune the whole court was dancing like a whirlwind. Over and over, quicker and quicker, sounded the tune of "Cockcrow" on the charmed fiddle, until some of the dancers, exhausted, fell down, although still keeping their feet in motion.” This shows, he was going to quick and made the dancers tired .To add on, when both the lion and wolf asked him to stop he didn’t really hear so ignored them without knowing. But the second time, the lion was desperate at to the monkey he would give the monkey his kingdom and everything but he refused and didn’t want the request. According to the text it says “... Wolf was the first to cry out in pleading tones breathlessly, "Please stop, Cousin Monkey! For love's sake, please stop!"But Monkey did not even hear him. Over and over sounded the resistless waltz of "Cockcrow.” After a while, Lion showed signs of fatigue, and when he had gone the round once more with his young lion wife, he growled as he passed Monkey, "My whole kingdom is yours, ape, if you just stop playing.""I do not want it," answered Monkey, "but withdraw the sentence and give me my bow and arrow, and you, Wolf, acknowledge that you stole it from me... The court and other animals were so afraid that he might begin again that they hastily disbanded to new parts of the world.” To clarify, because the monkey didn’t want the trade/request, all the court people moved to different places because they were afraid about what would happen net so they all left In conclusion, the monkey was able to break free from his unlawful sentence. One way was he used his fiddle to play a song and for some reason his fiddle playing pleased the court people and they started to dance until their feet hurt. Another way he escaped it was since he obeyed the offer the lion king gave to him, everyone was scared about what would happen next if they kept fighting like that so man people left the town or place because of it. If i were in the monkeys position, I would never have thought that I would ave been able to escape a sentence so I would definitely feel grateful, strange, relived and definitely also feel a little scared if the animal would come back and wanted to go to court again.
