The Fox and the Stork an Aesop's Fable
Back when the stork believed the fox a friend,
the fox, always a joker decided to pull
a trick upon the stork. “Come spend
The evening at my home, we’ll dine and speak
he said. But when the stork showed up excited
the fox served soup in such a shallow bowl
that the poor bird could only dip his beak.
The fox laughed, “Does my spicy bisque offend?”.
When several weeks went by, the stork invited
the fox to dine with him this time but when
the fox arrived he brought him out to eat
some soup in a small-mouth jar. He joked,
“Aren’t you hungry?” “Yes, I am” The fox choked
through feathers, “but I was in the mood for meat.”
