4 The fox and the stork

Chapter 4 The fox and the stork One evening, a sly fox invited a hungry stork to dinner. "Make yourself at home while I serve our meal," said the fox.

第4章狐狸和鹳一天晚上，狡猾的狐狸请饥饿的鹳来吃饭。 “我给你上菜的时候，你别客气，”狐狸说。

The stork sat down. Delicious spicy smells wafted in from the kitchen. "Here we are," said the fox, carrying two steaming bowls of fresh soup. This should be amusing.

鹳坐了下来。美味的辣味从厨房飘了进来。 “我们到了，”狐狸说，端着两碗热气腾腾的新鲜汤。 这应该很有趣。

The fox greedily lapped up his soup and eyed the stork's bowl. The stork was having trouble. Her beak was too long to eat from the fox's shallow dish. Let me help you finish it off.

狐狸贪婪地舔了舔汤，眼睛盯着鹳的碗。 这只鹳遇到了麻烦。 她的嘴太长，不能吃狐狸浅盘子里的东西。 让我帮你把它吃完。

She flew home in a bad mood, feeling very hungry. "That cunning fox tricked me and ate my dinner too," she squawked, and plotted how to get back at him.

她心情不好地飞回家，感觉很饿。 “那只狡猾的狐狸骗了我，把我的晚餐也吃了。”她尖声叫道，并计划着如何报复他。

A week later, the stork invited the fox to dinner. "Your soup was so delicious," she said, "I thought I'd make some too. The stork poured the soup into two tall jars. She ate hers easily, but the fox hadn't a chance. His nose was far too short.

一个星期后，鹳邀请狐狸吃饭。 “你的汤太好吃了，”她说，“我想我也要做一些。” 鹳把汤倒进两个大罐子里。 她轻松地吃了她的，但狐狸没有机会。 他的鼻子太短了。

"I've been fooled by my own trick," he sighed. And the moral is... Play mean tricks on people and they may play them back on you.

“我被自己的把戏愚弄了，”他叹了口气。 寓意是……捉弄别人，别人也会以牙还牙。
