The Fox and the Grapes

One hot day a fox was passing along by a vineyard. Ripe grapes hung in the vines. The fox was very hungry and thirsty. The sight of ripe grapes was a joy to him. He wanted to get some of the grapes. But they were beyond his reach. He jumped again and again but he failed. He could not reach the grapes in any way. He was very sorry at this.
The fox said to himself, “The grapes are sour. I don’t want to have the grapes.”
