Cartoon for kids 🦢 The Crane and the Fox 🦊 / Fox & Crane
Many years ago when the Fox and the Crane were close friends. One fine day the Fox invited the Crane for dinner with her and said him: «Come, buddy! Come, my dear! I will feed you from the heart”. Okey, I will come. All day the Fox cleaned the house. The Fox sits and wait. And so, the Crane came to the Fox for the dinner party. The Fox had cooked semolina for the dinner and smeared it over the plate. Then she served it and treated her guest. “Help yourself to tasty dinner, my dear godfather. I cooked it myself!”. The Crane went peck-peck with his beak, knocked and knocked but couldn’t pick even a bit of fare. The Fox kept licking the cereal until she had eaten it all. When there’s no cereal at all, the Fox said, «Don’t feel offended, buddy. There’s nothing more to treat you”. «And thanks hereon, dear,” the Crane said, “now it’s your turn to visit me”. The next day the Fox came, and the Crane made okroshka and poured in into a tall pitcher with a narrow neck and treated the fox. “Help yourself to tasty dinner, my dear godmother. Honestly, there’s nothing more to advise you”. The Fox was spinning around the pitcher and licking it and sniffing it but couldn’t extract even a drop of the soup. Her head wouldn’t fit the pitcher at all. Meanwhile the Crane sucked the soup with his long bill. When everything had been eaten, he said to the Fox, «Don’t feel offended, dear. There’s nothing more to treat you”. The Fox got very angry as she hoped to be full up for the whole week along. So, she left empty-handed. And that was a tit for tat! And since that time the Fox and the Crane hadn’t been friends anymore since then.
