The Fox and the Stork
In this classic Aesop fable, a fox invites a stork to dinner and serves soup in a shallow dish, making it impossible for the stork to eat. Later, the stork returns the favor with a meal that only her long beak can reach. The clever swap shows how unfair actions can come back around. With a memorable twist and a clear lesson about empathy, this short tale is perfect for family reading and discussion.
