The Fox and the Stork
A fox
once asked a stork to dinner.
The stork came. The fox thought it
would be fun to play a joke upon the
stork. So he gave the stork for his
dinner only some thin soup in a flat dish.
The fox could lap this up like a dog,
but the poor stork could not get any
soup into his long bill. He went away
from the dinner as hungry as when he
came. The fox laughed to himself to
think what a good joke he had played
on the stork.
A few days later the stork asked the
fox to dinner. The fox came, and the
dinner was brought in. What do you
think the stork had done? He had only
soup for dinner, and he had put it into
a jar with a long neck. Into this jar
the stork put his long bill, and ate his
fill. The fox could only lick the
outside of the jar. He went away as hungry
as when he came. He did not laugh at
the stork's joke.
