The Fox and the Stork
One day, a fox invited a stork for supper. He started making some soup. It smelled so good that he wished could eat it all himself.
When the stork arrived, the mean fox served the soup in flat bowls. Poor Stork! She tried to sip the soup with her long beak, but the bowl was too shallow. The fox lapped up all his broth in a minute. The stork couldn't eat at all!
A few days later, the stork invited the fox to supper. He hurried over to her house, sniffing at the smell of tasty stew in the air.
"Here you are!" said the stork. With a little smile, she served the stew in tall glass jars. The fox couldn't eat any, but the stork easily ate all of hers with her long beak.
The fox realized that the stork was teaching him a lesson. He hung his head. He was ashamed of how greedy and mean he had been. He knew that if he had been nice, Stork would have been nice to him.

One warm day, a crow was sitting in a tree, holding a bit of cheese in his beak. A fox walked by just then. The smell of the cheese made his mouth water.
"Why, Master Crow, how pretty you look!" said the sly fox. "If your voice is as fine as your feathers, you must be the grandest bird in all these woods!"
Now the crow was an ugly bird, with messy feathers and a harsh voice. The fox's praise thrilled him. He was proud of his feathers and voice. He opened his beak to sing, and the cheese fell out.
"Ha, ha!" laughed the fox, snapping up the cheese. "That will teach you!"
