The Fox and the Stork (Bookmark)

Description

The Fox and the Stork is a classic Aesop’s fable, adapted as an English reader for children and published by Bookmark Africa. This version, used in early reading programmes, blends simple language and meaningful storytelling to teach young learners about manners and consequences.

In the tale, a clever Fox tricks a Stork by serving soup on a flat plate — something the Stork can’t eat from because of her long beak. Later, the Stork returns the favor by inviting the Fox to her home and serving the soup in a tall, narrow jar that only her beak can reach. This fable powerfully illustrates reciprocity, respect, and how kindness should be mutual, not one-sided.
