NAME:
One day a fox spotted a beautiful bunch of ripe grapes hanging from a vine wrapped along the branches of a tree. The grapes looked ready to burst, they were so juicy, and the Fox's mouth watered as he looked anxiously at them.
The bunch hung on a high branch and the Fox had to jump to get it. The first time she jumped, she missed and jumped wide. Then she backed away a little and took a running leap at him, only to fall once more. Again and again he tried, but in vain.
Now he sat and looked at the grapes with disgust.
- What a fool I am - she said - Here I am wasting myself to get a bunch of sour grapes that are not worth it.
And walked away with very, very disdain.
