Please read the story carefully,then translate the red sentences and tell me what are you thinking about when you read the whole story~Don't be shy,just make your imagination fly in your sky!

   Once, a fox invited a stork to have dinner. He put nothing on the table except some soup in a very shallow dish.   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.
   "I am sorry," said the fox," the soup is not to your taste."
   "lease do not apologize," said the stork." I hope you will come to my house and dine with me soon."
   A few days later the fox visited the stork. He found that his food was put in a long bottle, and the mouth of the bottle was very narrow. He could not insert his big mouth into it, so he ate nothing.
   "I will not apologize," said the stork," one bad turn deserves another."

Happiness is not a reward, but the results; Suffering is not punishment , but retribution.
