A Fox And A Crane

Once a fox and a crane became friends. So, the  fox invited  the  crane  to  dinner.  The crane  accepted  the  invitation  and  reached the fox's place at sunset.The fox had prepared soup for his mate. But as  we  all  know  that  foxes  are  cunning  by nature, he served the soup in flat dishes. So, he himself lapped the crane's share with his tongue  enjoying  its  relish  a  lot.  But  the crane could not enjoy it at all with his long beak and had to get back home hungry. The shrewd fox felt extremely amused.After few days, the crane invited the fox to dine in with him. The fox reached his place well  in  time.  The  crane  gave  him  a  warm welcome and served the soup in a jug with a long and narrow neck.So,  the  crane  enjoyed  the  soup  with  great relish using his long beak. The fox's mouth couldn't reach the soup through the narrow neck  of  the  jug.  He  had  to  return  home hungry.  Now  he  realized  that  he  had  been repaid for his behaviour with the crane.
