 Once, a crane and a fox were good friends .

 One day , the fox invited the crane to his home

 for eating kheer. The crane accepted his

 invitation and agreed to visit him. The crane

reached the house of fox in the evening .The fox

 welcomed him.  They gossiped for some time

 then the fox served him the kheer in a plate.

 He sat on the one side and the fox on the

 other side . Seeing this the crane was

 surprised . Since his beak was long , he could

 not eat the kheer.


But the fox kept on saying ," Hey ! Why do not

 you eat ? Feel at home and start eating," and

 the fox quickly finished the kheer . The crane

 realized that the fox made him a fool . He

 also invited the fox for the kheer at his house

 next day . The fox accepted his invitation

 happily . Next day, the fox reached the crane's

 home at the fixed time . The crane served the

 kheer in a flagon ( a long neck pitcher ) . The

 long beak of the crane was good enough to

 reach the kheer in the flagon but the mouth

 of the fox could not reach in it .The fox only

 licked the kheer around the neck of the flagon

 dropped from the beak of the crane . The

 crane finished the kheer quickly.


 The crane asked the fox," How did you like the

 kheer? " The fox nodded his head slowly . He

 said goodbye to the crane and came back to the

 house. He had to go to bed hungry that day.

 This is how the crane taught a lesson to the

 cunning fox.
