    A fox sees a bunch of ripe grapes hanging from a vine high in a tree and wants them badly. Despite many attempts with jumping and running leaps, the fox cannot reach the grapes. Finally admitting defeat, the fox decides the grapes were not worth the effort and leaves feeling scornful.

    The Fox and the Grapes

    A Fox one day spied a beautiful bunch of ripe grapes hanging from a vine trained along the branches of a tree. The grapes seemed ready to burst with juice, and the Fox's mouth watered as he gazed longingly at them. The bunch hung from a high branch, and the Fox had to jump for it. The first time he jumped he missed it by a long way. o he wal!ed off a short distance and too! a running leap at it, only to fall short once more. Again and again he tried, but in vain. "ow he sat down and loo!ed at the grapes in disgust. #$hat a fool % am,# he said. #&ere % am wearing myself out to get a bunch of sour grapes that are not worth gaping for.# And off he wal!ed very, very scornfully.

    There are many who pretend to despise and belittle that which is beyond their reach.
