KIDS STORY IN ENGLISH - The Fox and the Stork - MORAL STORY

A selfish fox once invited a stork to dinner at his

home and for a joke put nothing before her but 

some soup in a very shallow dish. The fox could 

easily lap this up, but the Stork could only wet the 

end of her long bill in it, and stayed hungry.

“I am sorry that the soup is not to your liking," said 

the fox with a sly smile.

"Oh, please do not apologise," said the Stork. "I 

hope you will return this visit, and come and dine 

with me too sometime." So a day was appointed 

when the Fox should visit the Stork.

Finally, when they were seated at the table, the 

Stork served them both some soup in a very 

long‑necked jar with a narrow mouth. The stork 

drank the soup easily but the fox could not insert 

his snout into the tall jar. This time it was the Fox’s 

turn to go hungry.
