    On a hot summer day, a fox comes upon an orchard and sees a bunch of ripened grapes. It thinks: "Just what I need to quench my thirst." It move back a few paces, run and jump but fall short of reaching the grapes. It tries in different ways to reach the bunch of grapes, but in vain. It finally gives up, and say to himself " I am sure they are sour anyway."

    Moral: It is easy to despair what you can not get your hands on.

    I love fables like these. Also I was attracted to the word "fox".

    Over the years, I have become quite familiar with fables like these. When I was in the fourth grade, we all had to write a fable of our own. I decided to write about a snail who was trying to decide how to decorate his new house, but his friends all had different ideas. He ended up trying to do them all and wrecking his new house. Corny, I know. The moral of my fable was: When you try to please everyone, you end up pleasing no one.
