The Fox and the Stork
स्याल र सारस
A fox plays a trick on a stork, but the stork teaches him a lesson.
स्यालले सारसलाई खाना खान बोलायो। उसले समतल थालमा सुप पस्कियो।
The fox invited the stork for dinner. He served soup in a flat plate.
स्यालले सजिलै सुप खायो, तर सारसको चुच्चो लामो भएकोले खान सकेन। स्याल हाँस्यो।
The fox easily ate the soup, but the stork could not eat because of its long beak. The fox laughed.
भोलिपल्ट, सारसले स्याललाई बोलायो। उसले साँघुरो मुख भएको भाँडोमा सुप दियो।
The next day, the stork invited the fox. He served soup in a narrow-mouthed pot.
सारसले मज्जाले खायो, तर स्यालले हेरेको हेर्यै भयो। जस्तो व्यवहार गर्छौ, उस्तै फिर्ता पाउँछौ।
The stork ate happily, but the fox could only watch. As you treat others, so you will be treated.
