Ans:-                                     THE FOX AND THE GRAPES

Once upon a time, a fox lived near a garden. One day she felt very hungry. She went from place to place to get something to eat. But she failed miserably.

Then she tried her luck in the garden. It was the season of grapes. She reached near the vine of grapes. There were hanging sweet and juicy grapes from the vine. Her mouth watered. She wanted to eat the grapes to satiate her awful hunger.

Now the question was how to get the grapes. They were hanging from a far-off vine She tried her best to reach them. She jumped again and again. But every time she jumped, the vine of grapes seemed to her to be sky-high. After a lot of high – jumping, the fox was badly fired. She did not want to admit her defeat.

Now the vine of the grapes was very tender and delicate. She child does not climb it. If she tried to catch hold of it, there was a fear of her falling down and breaking her head and neck. She jumped for the last time. But luck did not favour her. She left the place saying, “Grapes are sour. They are not fit to eat. If I eat them, I shall fall ill. And if I fall ill, the doctor will come. There will be plenty of expenditure on my treatment. So, it is better to leave the grapes to their fate.”

She left the place in disgust.

Moral: Grapes are sour.
