| English | Wednesday 10th June 2020 WALT: Answer comprehension questions.  The Fox and the CraneOne day a Fox invited a Crane to dinner. He liked to amuse himself at the expense of his guests, so the only food he provided was a thin soup served in a shallow dish. The Fox had no difficulty in lapping up his soup, but the Crane did. As much as she tapped her long, thin beak against the bowl, she could not manage to swallow a single drop of soup. She was just as hungry at the end of the meal as she had been at the beginning.
The Fox professed his deep regret at seeing her eat so little. ‘Oh dear,’ he said, ‘I do hope the soup was not too salty for your taste.’ The Crane did not answer. All she did was beg the Fox to do her the honour of returning the visit the next day. The Fox accepted the invitation and arrived at the appointed hour. The Crane greeted him kindly. The food smelt excellent, and the Fox was looking forward to satisfying his keen appetite. But when dinner was served, the Crane produced two jars with very tall, narrow necks. The Fox looked the strange vessels up and down. The Crane, with her long beak, ate the food quite easily, and soon her jar was empty. But the Fox could only walk round and round his jar, licking at its neck and sniffing the delicious food inside. The Crane professed her deep regret at seeing the Fox eat so little. The Fox was angry, but went on his way without complaining. The Crane had paid him back with his own coin. The Fox and the Crane Questions:1. What does it mean when it says that the Fox liked to ‘amuse himself at the expense of his guests’? 2. What does the Fox serve the Crane for dinner? 3. Why does the Crane find it difficult to eat the food the Fox has prepared? 4. Name another sort of food that the Crane might have found it hard to eat. 5. Does the Fox really regret seeing the Crane eat so little? Why does he say that he does? 6. What does it mean when is says that the Fox’s appetite was ‘keen’? 7. Copy any of the words from the list below that you think describe the Fox’s mood at the end of the story: enraged disinterested humiliated relieved humbled 8. Of these words, which do you think best describes the fox’s mood? Why have you chosen that word? 9. How would you describe the Crane’s mood? 10. Fables usually have a moral to them: what would you say the moral of this fable is? |
