The Fox & the Grapes
A 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.
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.
Now he sat down and looked at the grapes in
disgust.

"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.
And off he walked very, very scornfully.
There are many who pretend to despise and belittle that which is beyond their reach.
