Scene 1 · Beginner
Η Αλεπού και ο Πελαργός επισκέπτονταν ο ένας τον άλλον και έμοιαζαν καλοί φίλοι. Μια μέρα, η Αλεπού κάλεσε τον Πελαργό να φάνε μαζί. Για αστείο, του έδωσε μόνο λίγη σούπα σε ένα πολύ ρηχό πιάτο.
The Fox and the Stork used to visit each other and seemed to be good friends. One day, the Fox invited the Stork to eat with her. As a joke, she gave him only a little soup in a very shallow dish.
Η Αλεπού έγλειφε τη σούπα και έτρωγε εύκολα. Ο Πελαργός όμως είχε μακρύ ράμφος. Μπορούσε να βάλει στη σούπα μόνο την άκρη του και δεν μπορούσε να φάει. Έτσι έμεινε πεινασμένος.
The Fox lapped up the soup and had no trouble eating it. But the Stork had a long beak. He could dip only the tip of his beak into the soup and couldn’t eat. So he went hungry.
«Λυπάμαι που δεν σου αρέσει η σούπα», είπε η Αλεπού.
“I’m sorry you don’t like the soup,” said the Fox.
«Μη ζητάς συγγνώμη», απάντησε ο Πελαργός. «Έλα κι εσύ σύντομα να φας μαζί μου».
“Don’t apologize,” replied the Stork. “Come and eat with me soon, too.”
Συμφώνησαν λοιπόν ποια μέρα θα πήγαινε η Αλεπού στο σπίτι του Πελαργού.
So they agreed on a day for the Fox to visit the Stork’s home.
