Read the story of The Fox and the Stork' and
answer the questions that follow.
The Fox one day thought of a plan to
amuse himself at the expense of the Stork,
at whose odd appearance he was always
laughing
You must come and dine with me today,' he
said to the Stork, smiling to himself at the trick
he was going to play. The Stork gladly accepted
the invitation and arrived in good time and
with a very good appetite.
For dinner, the Fox served soup. But it was
set out in a very shallow dish, and all the
Stork could do was to wet the very tip of his
bill. Not a drop of soup could he get. But the
Fox lapped it up easily, and, to increase the
disappointment of the Stork, made a great
show of enjoyment.
The hungry Stork was much displeased at the
trick, but he was a calm, even-tempered fellow
and saw no good in flying into a rage. Instead,
not long afterward, he invited the Fox to dine
with him in turn. The Fox arrived promptly
at the time that had been set, and the Stork
served a fish dinner that had a very appetizing
smell. But it was served in a tall jar with a very
narrow neck. The Stork could easily get at the
food with his long bill, but all the Fox could do
was to lick the outside of the jar, and sniff at
the delicious odour. And when the Fox lost his
temper, the Stork said calmly:
‘Do not play tricks on your neighbours unless
you can stand the same treatment yourself.'
