What Is The Moral Of The Fable "The Fox And The Stork"?

Answer Question

2 Answers - Sort by: Date | Rating

    The fox pretended to make friends with the stork. As usual with the fox, he had no intention of giving his new "friend" anything. He invited the stork to dinner, but decided to trick him into going away hungry. So he provided soup, but served it in a wide, shallow dish. The stork tried hard to eat it, but could hardly get any soup into his bill. Meanwhile the fox happily lapped up his own share, saying, "I'm so sorry you don't like the soup."

    The stork said nothing, but a few days later he invited the fox to dinner at his own house. He put the food into long, narrow containers like vases, perfect for his own long neck and bill, but of course the fox couldn't get any food out at all. As the fox was leaving in disgust, the stork said, "I won't apologise. One bad turn deserves another."
