A hungry Fox saw some fine bunches of Grapes hanging from a vine that was trained along a high
trellis, and did his best to reach them by jumping as high as he could into the air. But it was
all in vain, for they were just out of reach: so he gave up trying, and walked away with an air
of dignity and unconcern, remarking, "I thought those Grapes were ripe, but I see now they
are quite sour."
