04 The Stork And The Fox 狐狸和仙鹤

The stork and the fox

  Once upon a time, a stork and a fox were friends for a long time.

  One day, the fox wanted to play a trick with his friend. So he invited the stork,“come and have dinner with me. I will prepare a special meal for you.” the stork accepted the invitation.

  When the stork arrived,the fox served him a shallow dish of good-smelled soup. Then, the fox lapped up his soup happily.

  The stork had a trouble. His beak was too long to eat from the shallow dish.

  On the next day, the stork put the roasted beef in a long-necked,narrow-mouthed jar for the fox.“It is your favorite,eat!” the stork said and ate happily.

  The jar was too narrow. The fox’s snout was unable to enter. So he could not eat. The fox sat and watched the beef with slaver only.

  Ate nothing, finally the fox went back home hungrily. His stomach upset along the way“I should not played a trick on him.” He talked to himself sadly.

 Moral: you get what you give.
