The CRANE sits at the table. The FOX puts on the table a flat plate with porridge.

FOX: Help yourself, dear. The porridge is very good.

The CRANE peck-pecks at the porridge with her sharp bill, but she cannot get a bit.

FOX: I hope you like the porridge, my dear. I have cooked it myself.

The CRANE continues to peck from the plate. At the same time the FOX begins to lap up the porridge and soon there is nothing left.

CRANE: Thank you all the same, I've had enough. Do come and have dinner with me. Good-bye,
