The Fox and the Grapes

One afternoon, a fox strolled through the forest and spotted a bunch of grapes.

Red fur, sharp eyes, sly expression in the forest, grapes hanging from a branch.

The fox thought, 'Just the thing to quench my thirst.' He took a few steps back and jumped, but missed.

Again, the fox tried to reach the grapes. This time, he failed too.

Red fur, sharp eyes, sly expression attempting to reach the grapes again, forest setting.

Giving up, the fox turned up his nose and said, 'They’re probably sour anyway,' then walked away.
