One hot summer’s day a Fox was strolling through an orchard, when he saw a bunch of ripe grapes hanging on a vine trained over a lofty branch. “Just the thing to quench my thirst,” said the Fox. Stepping back a few paces, the Fox jumped high in the air, but just missed the grapes. Turning around he jumped up with all his strength, but once again missed. Again and again he tried to reach the luscious grapes. Finally, he became so hot and so tired that he gave up. Walking away with his nose in the air, the Fox said, “I don’t want those grapes, I am sure they are sour.”

Moral: It is easy to despise what you cannot obtain.
