The Fox and the Stork

One day, a fox invited a stork for supper. He started making some soup. It smelled so good that he wished could eat it all himself.

When the stork arrived, the mean fox served the soup in flat bowls. Poor Stork! She tried to sip the soup with her long beak, but the bowl was too shallow. The fox lapped up all his broth in a minute. The stork couldn't eat at all!

A few days later, the stork invited the fox to supper. He hurried over to her house, sniffing at the smell of tasty stew in the air.

"Here you are!" said the stork. With a little smile, she served the stew in tall glass jars. The fox couldn't eat any, but the stork easily ate all of hers with her long beak.

The fox realized that the stork was teaching him a lesson. He hung his head. He was ashamed of how greedy and mean he had been. He knew that if he had been nice, Stork would have been nice to him.

What is the moral of the story?

• A. Treat others the way you want to be treated.

• B. Foxes and storks shouldn't eat together.

• C. Never give up.

• D. Take your time.
