<p id="id03083">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.</p>
<p id="id03084">"I am sorry," said the Fox, "the soup is not to your liking."</p>
<p id="id03085">"Pray do not apologize," said the Stork. "I hope you will return this
visit, and come and dine with me soon."</p>
<p id="id03086">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.</p>
<p id="id03087">"I will not apologize for the dinner," said the Stork:</p>
<h5 id="id03088">"ONE BAD TURN DESERVES ANOTHER."</h5>
