| Fox and Grapes
Once upon a time there lived a fox. One sunny day the fox was walking across the fields when he came across a vineyard. As he went nearer he saw some bunches of juicy grapes hanging on it. His mouth started watering.
He looked around carefully so as to prevent himself from the hunters. When he saw no one then he decided to steal some grapes from the vineyard. He jumped upwards but he could not reach the grapes. So he jumped again as high as he could but it was also of use. The fox was unable to reach the grapes as it was too high for him. Though he was tired but he didn’t loose hope.
He was not ready to give up and tried again. This time he went little back, took some running steps and then jumped towards the grapes but failed again.
As it was getting dark he became angry. Till now he was very much tired. His legs were hurt due to running and jumping. At last he stopped trying and as he walked towards home, he said to himself, "I never wanted those grapes. I'm sure they were sour. Thank god I didn’t eat it"
