THE FOX AND THE GRAPES
THE FOX AND THE GRAPES
It was a sunny day and fox was walking across
the fields. Soon he came to a vineyard.
As he came nearer, he could see some bunches
of juicy grapes.
The fox looked carefully around him. He had to
make sure that he was safe from the hunters.
He decided to steal some before anyone came
along.
He jumped upwards but he could not reach the
grapes. He jumped again as high as he could. He still could not reach
them. The grapes were just too high for him!
He was not ready to give up. He backed off,
took some running steps and leapt into the air towards the grapes. Again
he failed to reach them.
It was getting dark, and he was getting angry.
His legs hurt with all that running and jumping. At last he stopped
trying.
As he walked away, he said to himself, "I
don't really want those grapes. I'm sure they are too sour to eat."
Sometimes when we cannot get what we
want, we pretend that it is not worth having.
