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.
