A selfish fox once invited a stork to dinner at his home and for a joke put
nothing before her but some soup in a very shallow dish. The fox could easily lap
this up, but the stork could only wet the end of her long bill in it, and stayed
hungry.
“I am sorry that the soup is not to your liking," said the fox with a sly smile.
"Oh, please do not apologize," said the stork. "I hope you will return this
visit, and come and dine with me too sometime." So a day was appointed when
the fox should visit the stork.
Finally, when they were seated at the table, the stork served them both

How to Plant Mangrove

Things You'll Need:
 Silt planting soil
 Plant pot
 Salt water
Instructions:
1. Fill your plant pot up to the brim with a fine soil, such as silt.
2. Wet the planting soil with fresh water until it is muddy. As mangroves are a
marine plant, they thrive in damp growing environments.
3. Transfer the mangrove seedling into the soil by digging out a small hole
with your finger, and inserting the seedling so that its roots are below the
surface. Cover the roots back up with soil. The seedling's stem should be
all that is sticking out of the soil.

5. Water the mangrove seedlings with salt water about once a week. This

6. Once the mangrove seedlings have grown to the size you prefer, they can
either be replanted in a saltwater aquarium, or left in their pot. As some
types of mangrove can grow quite large, you'll have to transplant them if
they outgrow their original pot.

The Ant and the Dove

One hot day, an ant was searching for some water. After walking around
for some time, she came to a spring. To reach the spring, she had to climb up a

Seeing that the ant was in trouble, the dove quickly plucked off a leaf and dropped
