AESOP'S FABLES
THE FOX AND THE GRAPES
A HUNGRY Fox saw some fine bunches of Grapes hanging from a vine that was trained along a high trellis, and did his best to reach them by jump­ing as high as he could into the air. But it was all in vain, for they were just out of reach : so he gave up trying, and walked away with an air of dignity and unconcern, remarking, " I thought those Grapes were ripe, but I see now they are quite sour."
