tree. That evening, the stork flew to the fox's home and knocked on
the doorwith her long beak. The fox opened the door and said, "Please
come in andshare my food."
The stork was invited to sit down at the table. Shewas very hungry and
the food smelled delicious! The fox served soup in shallow bowls and
he licked up all his soup veryquickly. However, the stork could not
have any of it as the bowl was too shallow for her long beak. The poor
stork just smiled politely and stayed hungry.
The selfish fox asked, "Stork, why haven't you taken your soup? Don't
you like it?"
The stork replied, "It was very kind of you to invite me for dinner.
Tomorrowevening, please join me for dinner at my home."
The next day, when the fox arrived at the stork's home, he saw that
they were also having soup for dinner. This time the soup was served
in tall jugs. The stork drank the soup easily but the fox could not
reach inside the tall jug. This time it was his turn to go hungry.
MORAL: A selfish act can backfire on you.
