The Fox and the Grapes

  The Fox and the Grapes

   In a very hot summer day, a Fox was walking through an orchard tree. The fox came to a bunch of Grapes just ripening on a vine which had been trained over a lofty branch.

   "Just the thing to fulfill my thirst," quoted the fox. Drawing back a few paces, he took a run and a jump, and just missed the bunch. 

   Turning round again with a One, Two, Three, he jumped up, but with no greater success. Again and again he tried after the tempting morsel, but at last had to give it up, and walked away with his nose in the air, saying: "I am sure they are sour.”




The moral of the story:  It is easy to despise what you cannot get.
