快樂森林裡，有一隻喜歡惡作劇的狐狸，常常對森林裡的動物惡作劇，大家只要看到他出現，就會嚇得都跑光了。狐狸看到大家都怕他，高興地在一旁哈哈大笑。
有一次，狐狸笑嘻嘻地對白鶴說：「白鶴先生，明天我想邀請你來家裡吃晚飯，我會準備豐盛的飯菜招待你。」白鶴想一想後說：「沒問題，我一定去。」但是，狐狸並沒有真心真意地準備飯菜來招待客人，而是想要捉弄白鶴。因此，狐狸只用豌豆做了一鍋湯，然後，把豌豆湯倒在一個很平很平的盤子裡，白鶴每喝一口湯，豌豆湯就會從他長長的嘴巴中流出來，怎麽也吃不到東西。狐狸開心的說：「白鶴先生，你吃東西的樣子，實在是太好笑了。」白鶴聽到狐狸的話，心裡氣的冒煙，可是又沒有辦法回話。
後來，生氣的白鶴回家後，決定也要請狐狸吃晚飯。到了那一天，白鶴準備了香噴噴的烤雞。狐狸來了之後，聞到香噴噴的烤雞，忍不住問說：「白鶴先生，好香的味道啊，我的肚子好餓，晚餐準備好了嗎？」白鶴笑著說：「晚餐已經準備好了，都是你喜歡吃的東西。」之後，白鶴在狐狸面前，擺了一隻長頸小口的瓶子，裡面放著又香又嫩的烤雞，自己很容易地把頭頸伸進去，吃到瓶子裡的烤雞，而狐狸只能眼睜睜的看著白鶴吃東西，自己卻一口都嚐不到。
Once upon a time in Happy Forest, there lived a mischievous fox. As he frequently played pranks on others, whenever they saw him approaching, all the animals would scatter in fear. The fox laughed gleefully when he saw how terrified everyone was of him.
One day, the fox grinned at a stork and said, “Mr. Stork, I would like to invite you to my house for dinner tomorrow. I will prepare a magnificent feast to welcome you.”The stork thought for a while and said, “Sure! I will be there.”However, the fox was not sincere in inviting the stork for dinner. On the contrary, he intended to play a prank on Mr. Stork. So, the fox only made a pot of pea soup. And then, he poured the soup into a very flat and shallow plate. When the stork sat down to dinner, the soup kept dribbling out of his long beak, and he could not eat the soup no matter how hard he tried. The fox grinned and said, “Oh, Mr. Stork, the way you eat is so funny!”The stork realized that the fox had played a prank on him. He felt very angry, but he did not say anything.
After getting home, the angry stork decided to teach the mischievous fox a lesson. So, he invited the fox to his house for dinner the next day. On that day, the stork had roasted some delicious chicken. When the fox came and smelled the roast chicken, he asked the stork hungrily, “Mr. Stork, the chicken smells so delicious! I am so hungry. Is dinner ready yet?”The stork smiled and said, “Dinner is ready. You are sure to love it!” Then, the stork came to the table, and placed a tall bottle with long, narrow neck on the table, with the delicious chicken inside. The stork could reach the chicken easily with his long beak. But the fox could not reach the chicken, and could only watch as the stork ate the chicken.
