The fox and the Grapes

One hot, dry summer's day, a fox was passing through a large orchard, lined with vines loaded with ripe, juicy fruits of all kinds. As the fox passed under one tree, & he spied a beautiful clump of purple grapes hanging from a vine that had grown into the branches of the tree. The fox was very thirsty, &he thought how good a few sweet grapes would taste just then. Although the grapes were out of the fox's reach, he was determined to get those grapes one way or another. the fox walked a little way from the tree. He turned toward the tree &ran as fast as he could until he was almost directly under the grapes; then he leaped into the air-just missing the clump. The fox landed with a loud thump. He brushed himself off & tried to run & jump for the grapes again-& again –each time with no success. The luscious fruit hung safely out of his reach. Finally, the fox had to give it up,& as he walked away with his nose in the air,he was heard to say, those grapes were probably sour anyway.

It's easy to despise what you can't get.
