Read the fable The Fox and the Stork by Aesop to complete the activity.
At one time the Fox and the Stork were on visiting terms and seemed very good friends. So the Fox invited the Stork to dinner, and for a joke put nothing before her but some soup in a very shallow dish. This the Fox could easily lap up, but the Stork could only wet the end of her long bill in it and left the meal as hungry as when she began. "I am sorry," said the Fox, "the soup is not to your liking."
"Pray do not apologize," said the Stork. "I hope you will return this visit and come and dine with me soon." So a day was appointed when the Fox should visit the Stork; but when they were seated at table all that was for their dinner was contained in a very long-necked jar with a narrow mouth, in which the Fox could not insert his snout, so all he could manage to do was to lick the outside of the jar.
Write a paragraph identifying and explaining the theme present in this passage and how it relates to any universal themes.

I'm pretty sure the universal theme is karma. The story shows how the Fox played a trick on the Stork and thought it was funny until the Strok played the same trick on him.
The fox played a prank on the stork by giving her a bowl that she couldn't use because her bill was too long and thin. So the stork invited the fox over for dinner and did the same thing the fox did to her. She gave the fox a thin jar that only she could fit her bill into to eat the soup, but the fox's snout was too large to fit into it. The universal theme would probably be: treat other how you want to be treated.
This is what I answered. I'm not sure if it is correct, but if you decide to use it, change it up and use your own words.
