One afternoon a fox was walking through the forest and found there was a bunch of grapes （一串葡萄） over a very high and good-looking branch. “Just the thing to stop my thirst，” said the fox.
Taking a few steps back， the fox jumped and just missed the grapes. Again the fox took a few steps back and tried to reach them but was still not successful.
Finally， giving up， the fox turned up his nose and said， “Theyre probably sour （酸的） anyway，” and continued to walk away.
