Once upon a time, there lived a fox. He used to speak to other animals sweetly and let them trust him, before playing tricks on them.

One day the fox met a stork (鹳). He made friends with the stork and acted like a very good friend. Soon, he invited the stork to have a meal with him. The stork happily accepted the invitation. The stork went to the fox’s house. The fox just offered some soup. When he brought the soup out of the kitchen, the stork saw that it was in a plate! The poor stork could not have any soup with its long bill (喙), but the fox easily licked the soup from the plate. As the stork just touched the soup with the tip of its bill, the fox asked her, “How is the soup? Don’t you like it?”

The hungry stork replied, “Oh it is good, but my stomach is upset, and I can’t take any more soup!” The stork left the place after thanking the fox, and inviting him to her house for dinner.

The day arrived and the fox reached the stork’s place. The stork served soup for both of them, in a narrow jar (罐子) with a long neck. She was able to have the soup very easily with her long bill, but the fox could not.

After finishing hers, the stork asked the fox if he was enjoying the soup. The fox remembered the meal he himself had given the stork, and felt very ashamed. He said, “I ... I’d better leave now. I have a stomachache.”
