The Fox and the Grapes
It was a bright and sunny afternoon. A hungry fox was walking through a beautiful vineyard. His stomach growled, and he hoped to find something to eat. Suddenly, he saw a bunch of big, purple grapes hanging from a high vine.

The grapes looked fresh and juicy. The fox licked his lips and thought, “Ah! These grapes will surely satisfy my hunger.”
He stood on his back legs and tried to grab them, but they were too high. The fox stepped back, ran, and jumped as high as he could — but still, he could not reach them.
He tried again and again. He even stacked some sticks and stones to make himself taller, but nothing worked. The grapes stayed out of reach.
The poor fox became very tired. His legs ached, and he was sweating under the hot sun. At last, he gave up. He looked at the grapes one last time and said angrily,
"Those grapes are probably sour anyway! I don’t want them.đ”
Then, he walked away slowly, still hungry but pretending not to care.
