Answer 1

A Fox and a Crane

Once a fox and a crane became fast friends. So, the fox invited the crane to dinner. The crane accepted the invitation and reached the fox’s place at sunset. The fox had prepared soup for his mate. But as we all know that foxes are cunning by nature. He served the soup in flat dishes. So, he himself lapped the craned share with his tongue and enjoyed a lot. But the crane could not enjoy it at all with its long beak and had to get back home hungry. The shrewd fox felt extremely happy.

After a few days, the crane invited the fox to dine with it. The fox reached its place well in time. The crane gave him a warm welcome and served the soup in a jug with a long and narrow neck.

So, the crane enjoyed the soup with great relish using its long beak. The fox’s mouth couldn’t reach the soup through the narrow neck of the jug. He had to return home hungry.
Now he realized that he had been repaid for his rude behaviour with the crane.

Moral : Tit for tat.
