Outline.
A hungry fox---search for food--- sees some grapes---cannot get at them---goes
away saying, “The grapes are sour.”
The Story.
It was a hot summer day. A fox was feeling very hungry. He went out in search
of food. Soon he came to a garden. He saw some ripe grapes hanging down vine.
His mouth began to water. He jumped at them, but could not reach them. He
jumped for the second time, but the result was the same. He tried again and
again, but it was all in vain. At last he left the garden with a heavy heart.
But, to keep up appearances, he said, “The grapes are sour and are not at all
worth eating!”
Moral. People pretend to dislike what they
cannot get.
