128.The Fox and the Grapes

A HUNGRY FOX tried to reach some clusters of grapes which he saw hanging from a vine that was trained on a tree. She wearied herself in vain, for the grapes hung too high up, and she could not reach them. At last she turned away, saying:

“I guess they were unripe anyhow.”

Some men too, when they fail by falling short, blame circumstances or others undeservedly.
