Once upon a time, there lived a cunning fox and a kind-hearted crane. They were good friends, but the fox had a mischievous nature. One day, the fox invited the crane to dinner and promised a delicious meal.
The crane, delighted by the invitation, arrived on time. The fox served soup but in shallow plates. The crane, with its long beak, struggled to eat, while the fox licked the soup with ease. The crane realized the fox’s trick but remained polite, thanking the fox before leaving.
A few days later, the crane decided to teach the fox a lesson. It invited the fox over for dinner, promising a delightful feast. The fox, excited, arrived at the crane’s house.
The crane served a tasty porridge but in a tall, narrow jar. The crane easily ate with its long beak, but the fox, with its snout, couldn’t reach the food. The fox grew frustrated and realized how it felt to be treated unfairly.
The crane smiled and said, “Now you know how I felt at your dinner.” The fox felt ashamed and apologized for its behavior. From then on, the fox learned to be considerate of others.
Moral: Treat others as you want to be treated.
