1. A FOX AND A CRANE
Once upon a time, a fox and a crane became friends. One day, the fox invited the
crane to dinner. The crane accepted the invitation and went to the fox's place at
evening.
The fox had prepared soup for the crane. He served the soup in flat plate. The fox
enjoyed the soup using his tongue. But the crane could not enjoy it at all with his
long beak and had to get back home hungry. The naughty fox laughed at the crane.
After few days, the crane invited the fox to dinner with him. The fox reached his
place well in time. The crane gave him a warm welcome and served the soup in a jug
with a long and narrow neck.
So, the crane enjoyed the soup using his long beak. The fox's mouth couldn't reach
the soup through the narrow neck of the jug. He had to return home hungry. Now
he realized that he had been repaid for his bad behavior with the crane.
