Sour Grapes

One day, a fox passes by a grape tree and sees a lot of grapes hanging on the tree. The fox tries to reach the grapes by jumping up as tall as he can, but he still can't reach the grapes. He then tries to climb up the tree, by as he is not good in climbing tree, he falls down and nearly breaks his legs.

"The grapes must be sour," says the fox to himself.

Just before the fox walks away, a bird flies over the tree. The fox shouts to the bird, "hey, i know the grapes are sour. Don't eat them."

But the bird tries some of the grapes and finds them very sweet. "No, they are actually sweet."

"I don't believe, unless you throw down some and let me taste," says fox to bird.

So the birds throw down some grapes and the fox tastes them. Sweet!

"Well, most of them are sour, only some of them are sweet. Unless you throw down all grapes and let me taste," says fox to bird.

To prove the fox is wrong, the bird pecks down all the grapes for fox to taste. After the fox finishes all the grapes, he says to bird, "Well, I think you are right. The grapes are sweet."

The fox then goes away, leaving the bird with no more grapes to eat.
