T one time the Fox and the Stork were

on visiting terms and seemed very
good friends. So the Fox invited the Stork
to dinner, and for a joke
put nothing before her but |
some soup in a very shallow
dish. This the Fox could
easily lap up, but the Stork
could only wet the end of
her long bill in it, and left
the meal as hungry as when
she began. “I am sorry,”
said the Fox, “the soup is-
not to your liking.”
