Scene 1 · Beginner
Vulpea și barza se vizitau des și păreau foarte bune prietene. Într-o zi, vulpea a invitat barza la cină. Dar a vrut să-i facă o farsă, așa că i-a dat doar supă, într-o farfurie foarte puțin adâncă.
The fox and the stork often visited each other and seemed to be very good friends. One day, the fox invited the stork to dinner. But she wanted to play a trick on her, so she gave her only soup, on a very shallow plate.
Vulpea putea să lingă supa cu limba și să mănânce ușor. Barza însă avea un cioc lung. Putea să bage în supă doar vârful ciocului, așa că nu a reușit să mănânce. A plecat de la masă la fel de flămândă ca înainte.
The fox could lick up the soup with her tongue and eat without difficulty. The stork, however, had a long beak. She could put only the tip of her beak into the soup, so she couldn't manage to eat. She left the table just as hungry as before.
— Îmi pare rău că nu vă place supa, a spus vulpea.
“I’m sorry you don’t like the soup,” said the fox.
Barza i-a spus că nu trebuie să-și ceară scuze. Apoi a invitat-o și ea la cină: — Sper să veniți în curând să luați cina cu mine.
The stork told her that she didn’t need to apologize. Then she invited her to dinner too: “I hope you’ll come soon to have dinner with me.”
Cele două au ales o zi pentru vizita vulpii.
The two of them chose a day for the fox’s visit.
