The Fox and the Crane
The next day, Mrs. Crane telephones Mr. Fox.
Fox: Hello.
Crane: Mr. Fox, this is Mrs. Crane. Thank you for your lunch yesterday.
Fox: It was nothing. So why did you call?
Crane: This time, I want to invite you for lunch. I am preparing your favorite dish.
Fox: Really? I know the way to your house. I will come right away.
Mr.Fox rushes to Mrs. Crane's house. He smells fish outside the house.
Fox: I can smell fish, my favorite dish. I'm so hungry.
(Mr. Fox wets his mouth and strokes his stomach.)
Mrs.Crane opens the door.
Crane: Mr. Fox, welcome! You came very quickly. Are you hungry?
Fox: Yes, I am. Can we eat now?
Crane: Of course. I'll bring in the fish right away.
Mrs.Crane brings in the fish from the kitchen. But the fish is not on a plate. It is inside a long narrow bottle. Mr. Fox looks surprised. His eyes are about to pop out.
Crane: Let's eat. Mmm…Delicious, isn't it, Mr. Fox?
Fox: It looks very good.
Crane: But why aren't you eating?
Fox: I will. Mr. Fox tries to eat the fish, but he can't get it out from the long,narrow bottle. Mr. Fox has a short mouth and tongue. He realizes his mistake,and can't say anything.
Crane:This is the most delicious fish in the world. I will have another. How about you, Mr. Fox?
Fox:No, thank you. I think I have a stomachache.
Crane:That's too bad.
Fox: I must go home now. Bye.
Crane: Good-bye, Mr. Fox! Come again! Ha, ha, ha…
Mr. Fox rushes home in shame. Mrs. Crane sees Mr. Fox running away and keeps on laughing.
