The Fox and the Crane
The story above the doorway to the Inner Hall shows the tale of the Fox and the Crane in which each character tries to trick the other into drinking from a difficult object, for the Crane the flat dish and for the Fox, the tall pitcher. This was teaching the moral to always treat others the way you want to be treated yourself.
