The Fox and the Grapes

or

Grapes are sour

Once a fox was very hungry as he could not get anything to eat for a long time. He strolled in search of food.

He wandered all along the jungle but his efforts were in vain. There was a garden near the forest. She went there in search of food.

There he saw bunches of fine, ripe grapes hanging from a vine. His mouth began to water. He wanted to eat them. So he jumped again and again, to reach them, but in vain. The grapes were hanging too high for him to get at them.

At last he gave up the attempt and went away saying, “the grapes are sour. If I eat them, they can harm me.”

Moral:

Grapes are sour.
