00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.200
Once upon a time a fox invited a stork to dinner.

00:00:04.200 --> 00:00:09.170
When the stork arrived at the fox’s house the food smelt delicious.

00:00:09.170 --> 00:00:12.780
Over the fire a pot of soup was bubbling,

00:00:12.780 --> 00:00:17.690
but when it was served the fox poured it onto a flat dish.

00:00:17.690 --> 00:00:20.380
The fox lapped it up with his long pink tongue

00:00:20.380 --> 00:00:28.400
but the poor stork with his long thin beak could only dab at it and pick up tiny droplets.

00:00:28.400 --> 00:00:30.510
The fox watched her for a while,

00:00:30.510 --> 00:00:32.450
chuckling to himself,

00:00:32.450 --> 00:00:35.920
and then he finished every drop.

00:00:35.920 --> 00:00:39.690
<v Paragraph>A week later the stork invited the fox to dinner.

00:00:39.690 --> 00:00:43.050
When the fox arrived the food smelt delicious.

00:00:43.050 --> 00:00:46.680
Over the fire a pot of soup was bubbling,

00:00:46.680 --> 00:00:53.610
but when it was served the stork poured it into a tall vase with a long, narrow neck.

00:00:53.610 --> 00:00:59.950
She dipped her long beak into it and with the greatest of ease she ate her fill.

00:00:59.950 --> 00:01:08.420
The poor fox couldn’t get his nose past the narrow neck and went home ravenously hungry.

00:01:08.420 --> 00:01:10.420
<v Paragraph>She watched him go.

00:01:10.420 --> 00:01:15.900
‘I hope my meal tasted as good to you as yours did to me.’
