The Fox and the Grapes

 

 

One hot summer's day a Fox was strolling through an orchard till

he came to a bunch of Grapes just ripening on a vine which had

been trained over a lofty branch. "Just the thing to quench my

 

thirst," quoth he. Drawing back a few paces, he took a run and a 
 

jump, and just missed the bunch. Turning round again with a One,

 

Two, Three, he jumped up, but with no greater success. Again and 
 

again he tried after the tempting morsel, but at last had to give it

 

up, and walked away with his nose in the air, saying: "I am sure 
 

they are sour."

 

 

 

It is easy to despise what you cannot get.
