The Fox & the Grapes
\nA 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.<\/p>\n
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. So he walked off a short distance and took a running leap at it, only to fall short once more. Again and again he tried, but in vain.<\/p>\n
Now he sat down and looked at the grapes in disgust.<\/p>\n
“What a fool I am,” he said. “Here I am wearing myself out to get a bunch of sour grapes that are not worth gaping for.”<\/p>\n
And off he walked very, very scornfully.<\/p>\n
There are many who pretend to despise and belittle that which is beyond their reach<\/p>\n
