Once upon a time, there lived a very cunning and mischievious fox. He used to speak to other animals sweetly and gain their trust before playing tricks on them. One day the fox invited the Crane to dinner. The Crane gladly, accepted the invitation. He went to the residence of the fox. The fox has prepared the liquid dish. It was severed in a flat dish. The guest with its long beak could hardly pick up anything. But host lapped it up in no time. Poor Crane went away hungry and disappointed. He cursed the fox for selfishness and cunningness. He made up his mind to teach the fox a good lesson. After sometimes, the Crane invited the fox to dine at his residence. The fox accepted his invitation and went to the residence of the Crane. The crane placed before his guest a tall jar with a narrow neck. The crane with a long beak finished the content of the jar. But the fox could not eat anything as his mouth could not go into the narrow neck of the jar. The fox went much ashamed and hungry.
