A fox and a stork were friendly in a forest. But the fox was jealous of the stork. The fox used to think that he would live comfortably on one leg by the lake, chanting and eating the food he found with ease. The fox thought in his mind that he should somehow insult this stork. One day the fox went to the stork. “Stork! I want to entertain you. I invite you to come to our house for dinner tomorrow,” said the fox. The stork agreed and the next day went to the fox’s house for dinner. The fox made sweet soup wonderfully. The sweet soup was poured in two wide plates. Keeping one tooth in front of the stork and the other tooth in front of her, she tasted the sweet soup with her tongue. “Drink the sweet soup, my friend! It is very tasty,” said the fox as he drank it.
Due to the long nose of the stork, the stork could not drink the sweet soup in liquid form in the wide plate. The fox licked the sweet soup in his plate with his tongue and said, “Drink it like this, Stork.” He also grabbed the stork’s tooth and licked the stew with his tongue. The stork was very sad and realized that the fox had done this to insult him. The stork felt that he should give appropriate advice. “Stork! You have given me hospitality today. In return, I want you to come to my house tomorrow to accept my hospitality,” said the stork. (A Small story for Kids in English)
The fox agreed and went to the stork’s house the next day. The stork poured liquid sweet soup into two narrow mouthed jars and placed one in front of him and the other in front of the fox. “I made this sweet soup myself, fox! “Shut up,” said the stork. The stork poked its long nose into the jar and drank the sweet soup. Because there was no light in the jar, the fox could not drink the sweet soup and sat watching. “Drink sweet soup like this, fox!” Saying that, the stork also took the jar in front of it and drank it. The stork was very happy to avenge the fox’s insult. The starving fox turned towards the house.
