Question

Read the fable The Fox and the Stork by Aesop to complete the activity.

At one time the Fox and the Stork were on visiting terms and seemed very good friends. So the Fox invited the Stork to dinner and for a joke put nothing
before her but some soup in a very shallow dish. This the Fox could easily lap up, but the Stork could only wet the end of her long bill in it and left the meal
as hungry as when she began"I am sorry," said the Fox, "the soup is not to your liking"
*Pray do not apologize," said the Stork "I hope you will return this visit and come and dine with me soon." So a day was appointed when the Fox should
visit the Stork, but when they were seated at table all that was for their dinner was contained in a very long-necked jar with a narrow mouth, in which the
Fox could not insert his snout, so all he could manage to do was to lick the outside of the jar.
