The Fox and The Stork
Long time ago, there was a selfish fox. He invited a stork for dinner. The stork was very happy with the invitation. She went to fox’s home and knocked at the door with her long beak. The fox took her to the dinner table and served some soup in shallow bowls for both of them. Since the bowl was too shallow for the stork, she couldn’t eat the soup at all. But, the fox licked up his soup in no time.
The stork was angry because she could not eat from the bowl. But she behaved politely. She thought to teach a lesson to the fox. So, one day the stork invited the fox for dinner. She too served soup, but this time the soup was served in two tall narrow vases. The stork devoured the soup from her vase, but the fox couldn’t drink any of it because of his narrow neck. The fox realised his mistake and went home hungry.
Moral: Do not play tricks on your neighbors unless you can stand the same treatment yourself.
