Read the text and choose the right answer. What verb tenses were used in the text? As you know, a stork is a bird with a long, pointed beak. Well, the fox liked to make fun of the stork's beak. He decided to play a trick on the stork. "Won't you come for dinner?" the fox asked. "Why, yes," said the stork. The stork came to dinner. The stork was very hungry. The fox had made soup for dinner. It put the soup in a big flat dish. The stork dipped her beak into the dish. The stork could not eat the soup. The dish was too flat. The fox ate up all the soup, and the stork went home hungry. Later the stork asked the fox to dinner. When the fox got there, he was hungry. The fox had made fish for dinner beforehand. It smelled wonderful. The stork put the fish into a tall jar. The fox looked at the jar. He smelled the fish and licked the jar. There was no way he could get his mouth down to the fish. "What a shame! You can't eat your fish!" laughed the stork. "I guess I'll have to eat your fish myself." She stuck her long beak into the jar and ate all the fish. This time, it was the fox who went home hungry. Do not dish out what you can’t take.
