The Sour Grapes

Hello, everyone.

    The story that I am going to tell you is a story that most of you must have heard it.

    It’s a story of a fox who wanted to eat the grapes that were growing on a high wall. Read on and find out what happens.

The Sour Grapes

    Once there was a fox. He was feeling very hungry and was trying to get something to eat. As he was walking he came across a high wall. Now on this wall there was a beautiful grape vine growing on it with nice juicy looking grapes.

    The fox looked at the grapes and his mouth watered. He went nearer and jumped to get at them but they were very high up on the wall. He tried to jump higher and higher but it was no good.

    He looked around to see if he could find anything to stand on. At first he did not see anything then he noticed a gate in the wall and near the gate was a stool standing there. He went to it and pushed with his nose and pulled with his mouth to get it under the grapes. At last he succeeded. Once the stool was under the grapevine he jumped onto it and tried to reach the grapes but they were still high up. He tried to jump to catch them but when he did so he fell down. He tried again and again and each time he fell on the ground. Seeing he just could not get those grapes he gave up.

    “Who wants those grapes, anyway?” he said, to himself. “They are sour grapes.”

    And with that he went away.
