The fox and the grapes
Once upon a time, a fox was strolling in the “Sundervan”
forest someplace in Asia on a hot afternoon.
After strolling alone for a while, he got hungry.
Soon, he reached a lush green garden with beautiful
trees and flowering plants. Then, he abruptly noticed
a sizable bunch of grapes on a grapevine.
A luscious bunch of grapes suspended from a
tree limb made him drool. The fox’s mouth watered
as he peered longingly at the grapes, which appeared
ready to burst with juice.
The thirsty fox exclaimed, “Wow, the grapes look so juicy!
They seem ready to be eaten.” The fox wanted to eat
them since he was so hungry and thirsty.
The grapes were high, yet the fox jumped up with full
force and confidence. He backed up a bit before
running and jumping to reach the grapes.
The first time he jumped, he missed it by a long way.
After that, he was not even close to being able to touch them.
