Let’s Study This
THE FOX AND THE STORK
The fox and the stork were formerly good friends. They often visited
each other. One day, the fox invited the stork to dinner because he wanted to
play a joke on her. At the dinner table, the fox put soup on a very shallow dish
before the stork. The fox could easily lap the soup, but the poor stork could
only wet the end of her long bill. So, she left the dinner table as hungry as when
she came.
“I’m sorry you did not like the soup,” said fox.
“Oh, please don’t apologize,” said the stork sweetly.
“I hope you will come and dine with me soon.
So came the day when fox visited the stork. The stork served their dinner
in a jar with a very long neck and a narrow mouth. All the fox could do was
lick the outside of the jar.

Let’s Do This
Noel’s Pet Bird
Noel’s pet bird was free to fly around the house. But its
frequent visits were made in the kitchen much to the
annoyance of their helper. It would fly straight to the table
where it would pick something to eat.
One warm day, the bird was attracted by sticky flypaper
spread on the kitchen. It pecked at a still struggling fly on the
flypaper.
The paper of course stuck to its bill. The bird raised one
foot to let itself loose, but its foot got stuck, too. Soon, both its
feet were stuck tight on the flypaper. No amount of pulling,
struggling and bird noise helps the bird in its misfortune. It
flew to a brook nearby with the flypaper dangling from its feet.
