[color=#ff0000][size=4]  [color=darkslategray][font=Times New Roman] Once, a fox invited a stork to have dinner. [color=red]He put nothing on the table except some soup in a very shallow dish.[/color][/font][/color][/size][font=Times New Roman][size=4][color=darkslategray]   The fox could easily lap up the soup, but the stork could only wet the end of her long bill in it. When she left the meal,she was still very hungry.[/color][/size][/font]
[font=Times New Roman][size=4][color=darkslategray]   "I am sorry," said the fox," the soup is not to your taste."[/color][/size][/font]
[font=Times New Roman][size=4][color=darkslategray]   "Please do not apologize," said the stork." I hope you will come to my house and dine with me soon."[/color][/size][/font]
[font=Times New Roman][size=4][color=darkslategray]   A few days later the fox visited the stork. [color=red]He found that his food was put in a long bottle, and the mouth of the bottle was very narrow.[/color] He could not insert his big mouth into it, so he ate nothing.[/color][/size][/font]
[font=Times New Roman][size=4][color=darkslategray]   "I will not apologize," said the stork," one bad turn deserves another."[/color][/size][/font]
[font=Times New Roman][size=4][color=darkslategray][/color][/size][/font]

He put nothing on the table except some soup in a very shallow dish
他除了放点汤在盘子上就没放什么了..

Happiness is not a reward, but the results; Suffering is not punishment , but retribution
幸福不是奖赏,而是结果;苦难不是惩罚,而是报应
