On a warm afternoon, a hungry fox wandered through the forest, looking for something tasty to eat. Suddenly, he spotted a bunch of big, juicy grapes hanging high from a vine. They looked delicious, and the fox’s mouth began to water.
The fox stood under the grapes and jumped as high as he could. Boing! But he couldn’t reach them. He stepped back, took a running start, and leaped again. Boing! Still no luck.
He tried again and again—running, stretching, climbing, and leaping. But nothing worked. The grapes were simply too high.
Tired and frustrated, the fox finally walked away, saying proudly, “Those grapes are probably sour anyway.”
