Aesop for Children (1919)
48. THE FOX AND THE STORK
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 odor. And when
the Fox lost his temper, the Stork said calmly:
Do not play tricks on your neighbors unless you can stand the same treatment yourself.
