The fox came out of the hole. She was very hungry. For many, many hours, she searched for food, but found nothing nearby. She walked through the entire woods looking for a rabbit that she could hunt. But the rabbits, very clever, fled to their holes and, well hidden, managed to deceive the fox, who continued with an empty stomach.
The fox continued on his way. She looked around, looking for some tree to serve her lunch. She came close to a lake and saw many ducks swimming. She walked slowly to make a lunge, but the wild ducks, when they saw that beast, flapped their light wings, running without stopping. They flew to the heights and left the fox on the ground.
Already very tired, the fox lay down in the shade of a large tree. It was from there that she spotted a vine with beautiful bunches of very ripe and juicy grapes. The fox's mouth filled with water. She started to jump and thought:
"Finally I found a delicious meal to satisfy my hunger."
But the grapes were on very high branches, and the fox couldn't pick up the berry. After a lot of trying, jumping and climbing a large fence, the fox discovered that all her efforts were useless and gave up.
Still hungry, she was filled with pride and, looking at the grapes, said:
“It doesn't matter, the grapes are green. They must also be very sour. I wouldn't like it! And went away.
Moral:A lot of people say they don't like things, just because they don't have them.
