What is The fox and the stork about?

Fox enjoys playing tricks, but his latest joke on Stork goes too far. He invites her to dinner and serves her food on a flat plate, knowing her long beak cannot reach it. Stork stays calm and decides to return the invitation. When Fox arrives at her home, he discovers that her meal is served in a tall, narrow jar. Soon, Fox learns that tricks can come back to bite you, in this humorous retelling of Aesop’s famous fable.
