The Fox and the Grapes
Fox was hungry."I must rush home,"he said."I must have lunch."Then something made him stop.Sniff,sniff,went Fox."What is that I smell?"Sniff,sniff."I smell ripe grapes!"
Fox opened the gate and went in. A bunch of ripe grapes hung from a thick vine."I'll just snatch that bunch of grapes,"Fox said with a grin. Snap, snap, went his mouth. Click, click, went his teeth. Fox tried and tried, but he could not reach the grapes.
Fox had a plan.He said,"I'll shake the vine.Then I'll pick up the grapes that fall!"Shake,shake,went Fox. Swing,swing, went the grapes. Fox tried and tried, but not one grape fell.
"I can't spend any more time here!"said Fox."Those grapes aren't so good anyway. They may smell fine,but I think they're bad. I don't want them at all!"
