The
Fox and the Crane appear before the curtain on the opposite sides of the stage
and meet in the centre.

my dear friend.

morning, Foxy.
FOX: How are you?
CRANE: Thank you, I
am all right.
FOX: I am so glad
to see you. Come and have dinner with me, my dear.
CRANE: Oh, thank
you!
(They go away
together.)
SCENE
II
A table and two
chairs stand in the middle of the room. The Fox and the Crane enter the room.
FOX: Here is my
home. Sit down, dear Crane. Dinner will be ready in a minute.
(The Crane sits at
the table. The Fox puts a plate with porridge on the table.)
FOX: Help yourself,
dear. The porridge is very good
(The Crane pecks
at the porridge with her sharp bill, but she cannot get a bit.)
FOX: I hope you
like the porridge. 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.)
FOX: Sorry, my
dear Crane, but I have nothing else to give you.
CRANE: Thank you
all the same, I have had enough. Come and have dinner with me.
Good-bye.
SCENE

The Crane’s room
with a table and two chairs in the middle. The Crane is busy preparing dinner.
There is a knock at the door.
CRANE: Come in.
FOX: Good
afternoon.
CRANE: Oh, Foxy, I
am glad to see you. You are just in time for dinner.
(The Fox sits at
the table and the Crane gives him some soup in a jug with a narrow neck.)
CRANE: Help
yourself to the soup, my friend.
(The Fox cannot
get at the soup. The Crane laughs and eats all the soup away.)
CRANE: Sorry, my
friend, but I have nothing else to give you.
FOX: I am very
hungry.
CRANE: I was
hungry after your dinner too. Good-bye, dear friend.
FOX: We are no longer
friends. (He runs out of room).
