🦊🕊️ The Fox and the Stork

 

🏡 A Tricky Invitation

One day, a sly fox decided to play a trick on his friend, the stork. He invited the stork over for dinner, pretending to be a kind and generous host.

🍲 A Rude Surprise

When the stork arrived, the fox served soup—but in a shallow dish. The fox happily lapped up his meal, while the poor stork, with her long beak, couldn’t get even a drop. She left hungry and embarrassed, though she said nothing.

📅 The Stork’s Revenge

A few days later, the stork invited the fox to her home for dinner. “Come enjoy a lovely meal with me,” she said politely. The fox, still chuckling to himself, accepted the invitation.

🏺 A Clever Comeback

When the fox arrived, the stork served a delicious stew—but this time in a tall, narrow-necked jar. The stork dipped her long beak in and ate with ease, while the fox couldn’t get a single bite.

😳 Lesson Learned

The fox went home hungry and humiliated. He finally understood how it felt to be the target of a cruel joke.
