The Fox And The Grapes

[Hear Fox And The Grapes]

A Fox, who was so hungry he would have eaten an old shoe if he could have found one, saw some perfect, sweet, ripe grapes hanging up on a trellis too high for him to reach.

He jumped at them and snapped, jumped and snapped until he was so worn out he couldn`t move a paw and he still couldn`t get them.

"Pooh for those sour greed old grapes," said he, "anybody can have those. I wouldn`t eat them if someone handed then to me on a platter."
The Point - The fox didn`t want the grapes because he couldn`t get them. You don`t fool anybody by making fun of things you just aren`t able to get for yourself.
