Scene 1 · Beginner
Lis i Bocianica odwiedzali się i wydawali się dobrymi przyjaciółmi. Pewnego dnia Lis zaprosił Bocianicę na obiad. Dla żartu podał jej tylko zupę w bardzo płytkim talerzu.
The Fox and the Stork visited each other and seemed to be good friends. One day, the Fox invited the Stork to lunch. As a joke, he served her only soup on a very shallow plate.
Lis mógł łatwo zjeść zupę z takiego talerza. Bocianica miała jednak długi dziób. Mogła zamoczyć w zupie tylko jego czubek, więc nic nie zjadła. Po obiedzie była tak samo głodna jak przed nim.
The Fox could easily eat soup from such a plate. But the Stork had a long beak. She could dip only its tip into the soup, so she ate nothing. After lunch, she was just as hungry as before.
– Przykro mi, że zupa ci nie smakuje – powiedział Lis.
“I’m sorry you don’t like the soup,” said the Fox.
– Nie przepraszaj – odpowiedziała Bocianica. – Mam nadzieję, że niedługo przyjdziesz do mnie na obiad.
“Don’t apologize,” the Stork replied. “I hope you’ll come to my place for lunch soon.”
Ustalili więc dzień, w którym Lis miał ją odwiedzić.
So they agreed on a day when the Fox would visit her.
