He jumped up to reach the grapes, but he could not touch them. He tried again and again. However, the grapes were too high for him. At last, he became tired and stopped trying.
Before leaving the place, the fox looked at the grapes and said, âThe grapes are sour. I do not want to eat them.â
Then he went away without eating anything. In fact, the grapes might have been sweet, but the fox said they were sour because he could not get them.

Instead of accepting his failure, the fox tried to hide his disappointment. He looked at the grapes and said, âThe grapes are sour. They are not worth eating.â Then he left the place.
