1ली, English

Look, listen and enact.

Once, a fox met a crane.
“Hello, Crane.

How are you?”
“I am fine. Thank you.
How are you?”
“I am fine.
Crane, do you like kheer?”
“Oh, yes. I love kheer.”
“ Then come to my house.
We’ll have kheer.”
Crane went to Fox’s house.
Fox served kheer in two dishes.

“Eat up your kheer quickly. Then, I will give you some more.”
Poor Crane !
He could not eat quickly from the dish.

Fox ate up all the kheer.
He began to laugh, ‘Ha, ha, ha!’
Crane said,
“Fox, come to my house tomorrow.
We will have some more kheer.”
Fox went to Crane’s house.
Crane served kheer in two tall pitchers.
“Eat up your kheer quickly.
Then, I will give you some more.”
Poor Fox !

He could not eat quickly
from the pitcher.
So Crane ate up all the kheer.

Fox learnt his lesson.
