A fox tries and tries to reach some grapes — then decides he didn't want them anyway.

THE FOX AND THE GRAPES

A hungry Fox saw some big bunches of Grapes hanging from a vine high up on a trellis. He really wanted them. He jumped as high as he could to reach them. But it was no good. They were just too high up. So he stopped trying and walked away. He held his head up and tried to look like he didn't care. "I thought those Grapes were ripe," he said, "but I can see now they are sour."
