The Fox and The Stork
There lived in a forest a fox and a stork who were friends . Oneday the fox invited his friend to dine with him . Next day the stork attended the dinner . Some soup in a flat dish was served . The fox said , " Now come on , Friend ! Let us share it from the same plate . " For his long bill and flat dish the stork could not relish the meal . The fox licked the whole content off the dish at ease . The stork remained hungry . When the stork parted , the fox regretted , " very sorry . You've taken little . The meal perhaps is not well prepared . Surely , not to your taste , is it ? " The stork only said , " Oh ! No .... No .... It's fine . I enjoyed it very much . Thanks . He went away . A few days later the stork invited his friend to a dinner at home . The fox came . He was gleaming in joy .
The dinner was placed in a long jar with a narrow opening . The stork requested the pleasure of his guest to start . He put his long bill easily into the mouth of the jar and ate to his heart's content . The fox could not eat anything as the pot was not flat . host at the parting time said , " surely , fine cooking . A hearty feast for my honourable guest ? " The fox understood everything and went away without a word .
The Moral: Tit for tat .
