An interesting story for kids on The Fox and the Grapes. Fox one day spied a beautiful bunch of ripe grapes hanging from a vine twined 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.

ADVERTISEMENTS:
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.
ADVERTISEMENTS:
There are many who pretend
To despise and belittle that
Which is beyond their reach?
