one day
a hungry fox
came across a rich and luscious
grapevine
a bunch of ripe grapes were hanging from
a height
a good way above the ground
the fox made several attempts to jump up
and pluck the grapes
but his efforts were in vain
tired and hungry he walked off grumpily
and murmured
i am sure those grapes were nasty and
sour
i am glad i could not reach them
they were definitely not worth eating
it is easy to belittle what you cannot
obtain
the fox spoke badly of the grapes
only because he could not reach them
and was forced to go away hungry
to lessen his disappointment of not
getting what he wanted
he comforted himself
with the idea that the grapes were sour
