THE FOX AND THE
GRAPES
One afternoon there was a fox that was walking through the forest
and spotted a bunch of grapes hanging from over a lofty branch. "Just
the thing to quench my thirst," quoted the fox. Taking a few steps
backward, the fox jumped but unfortunately he missed the hanging
grapes. Again the fox took a few paces backward, ran, and tried to
reach them but he still failed.
Finally, giving up, the fox turned up his nose and said, "They're
probably sour anyway," and proceeded to walk away.
