One day, the fox invited the crane to dinner, but the crane was very stingy. He brought out a small flat plate with a little broth in it. He repeatedly said, "Sister Crane, don't mention it, please eat, eat!" When the crane saw it, it was very angry, because her mouth was long and sharp, and she didn't drink a bite of the broth on her plate.
But the fox opened his wide and big mouth and snored a few times, then drank all the soup and asked the crane hypocritically, "Are you full?" I wonder if my soup is to your taste? "The crane smiled at the fox." Thank you for lunch. Please come to our house for dinner tomorrow! " "
The fox is waiting for this sentence and quickly says, "OK, I will definitely go at noon tomorrow." The fox wants to eat more in the crane's house. He didn't have dinner that day and breakfast the next day. He was hungry and went to the crane's house early to wait for lunch. As soon as the fox entered the crane's door, he smelled a smell. I can't help secretly happy.
The fox sat down at the table, and the crane took out a long-necked bottle and put it in front of the fox. He pointed to the fish and fresh soup in the bottle and said, Eat and don't mention it! The fox looked at such a big bottle mouth and couldn't fit it in. My stomach growled with hunger when I smelled the fragrance. The fox couldn't eat anything, but watched helplessly as the crane put its long and sharp mouth into the bottle, ate the fish and drank all the soup, and finally went home hungry.
