The stork sat down. Delicious spicy smells wafted in from the kitchen.
"Here we are," said the fox, carrying two steaming bowls of fresh soup.

The fox greedily lapped up his soup and eyed the stork's bowl.
The stork was having trouble. Her beak was too long to eat from the fox's shallow dish.

She flew home in a bad mood, feeling very hungry.
"That cunning fox tricked me and ate my dinner too," she squawked, and plotted how to get back at him.

A week later, the stork invited the fox to dinner."Your soup was so delicious," she said, "I thought I'd make some too."
The stork poured the soup into two tall jars. She ate hers easily, but the fox hadn't a chance. His nose was far too short.

The Stork could easily get at the food with his long bill, but all the Fox could do was to lick the outside of the jar, and sniff at the delicious odor. And when the Fox lost his temper, he understood that he had been fooled by his trick, and the Stork continous eating her food with no problem at all, so you never should take advantage of others by their situation, you never know if you will be in a similar situation, where people take advantage of your abilities, knowing that you won't be able to do it.

My name is Santos Carrasco, I'm studying the English career in the Universidad Pedagógica Nacional Francisco Morazán, I did this bookcreator focus on one of the Aesop's Fables because I think his stories have much to see in life's situations, we can learn about our behavior before things and respect to others and to be humble.
I recommended to read and apply in our lifes the morals and teaching of the Aesop's fables, its contents make us reflect and be better people.

Biography
He was born in the 6th century B.C., Greek writer. One of the oldest genres of universal literature is the fable, a type of short story starring personified animals whose didactic purpose is made explicit in a final moral. Classical Greece attributed the invention of this genre to Aesop.
Few certain data exist about Aesop's biography, and already in classical times the real character was surrounded by legendary elements, being definitively covered by fiction and fantasy as much as he could have been historical. This does not necessarily lead to refuting his existence, since a historian as credible as Herodotus describes him as a slave of a citizen of Samos who had lived in the previous century.
