Suddenly the fox, hungry and greedy, hungry for four days and gluttony of all times, left the desert sand and fell in the delicious shade of the vine that descended by a precipice to lose from View. She looked and saw, above all, at the height of a leap, wonderful bunches of grapes, large, tempting grapes. He set up his leap, tensed his body, leapt, his muzzle passed a hand's breadth from the grapes. She fell, tried again, failed. She rested, shrunk her body more, gave everything she had, couldn't even graze the fat, round grapes. She gave up, muttering angrily, “Oh, too, it doesn't matter. They are very green.” And he was descending, carefully, when he saw in front of him a huge rock. With an effort, he pushed the stone to the place where the bunches of grapes were, climbed on the stone, dangerously, because the terrain was uneven and there was a risk of falling down, he stretched out his paw and… he succeeded! Eagerly he put almost the entire curl into his mouth. And he spat. The grapes were really green!
