Once upon a time, there lived a selfish fox. One day, the fox invited his friend Stork for dinner.
In the evening, the stork went to the fox’s house and knocked on the door.
The fox opened the door and let his friend come in. He said, “Welcome, my friend! Let’s have dinner.”
The fox brought two bowls of soup. The stork was very hungry. She wanted to drink the soup quickly, but the bowl was too shallow for her. She had a long beak, and she couldn’t eat from the shallow bowl. At that moment, the fox drank all the soup. He looked at the stork and asked, “Why haven’t you drunk your soup, my friend?”
The stork replied, “Thank you for inviting me. I also want to invite you to dinner tomorrow.”
The fox accepted her offer, and the next day he went to the house of the stork. The stork served two bowls of soup. This time, the soup was served in deep bowls. The stork drank easily from a deep bowl, but the fox couldn’t reach the soup. It was his turn to return home hungry.
Moral of the story: We should not be selfish.
