| THE FOX AND THE GRAPES |
| It was a very hot and sunny afternoon. A fox, which had been hunting the whole day, was very thirsty. |
| "How I wish there was some water," the fox thought to himself. |
Just then, he saw bunches of fat and juicy grapes hanging from a vine above his head. The grapes looked ripe and ready to burst with juice. |
"Oh, my! Oh, my!" the fox said as his mouth began to water. "Sweet grape juice, quench my thirst!" |
| The fox stood on tiptoe and stretched as high as he could, but the grapes were out of his reach. |
| Not about to give up, the fox walked back a short distance and took a running leap at the grapes. Again, he could not reach the grapes. |
| The fox jumped and leapt, again and again, but each time he could not reach the grapes. Until, at last, the fox was tired and thirstier than ever. |
"What a fool I am!" said the fox furiously. "These grapes are sour and not fit for eating. Why would I want them anyway?"
With that, the fox walked away. |
| Moral: Some people disdain and underestimate what they cannot have. |
