📖 The Story: The Fox and the Grapes






Once upon a time, on a warm sunny day, a little fox was walking through the forest.
He was very hungry.
His tummy rumbled loudly.
"Grumble grumble! I need something yummy!" said the fox.





Suddenly, the fox stopped.
He saw a big bunch of juicy purple grapes hanging on a high vine.
They looked sweet and shiny under the sun.
“Wow! Those grapes look delicious!” said the fox.







The fox jumped once—
He missed.

He jumped again—
Still too high!

He tried and tried,
But the grapes were just too far.






The fox sat down, tired and sweaty.
He looked up at the grapes and frowned.
“Hmph! I didn’t want those silly grapes anyway,” he said.
“I bet they’re sour!”


And with that, he walked away, pretending not to care.








Sometimes, when we can’t get what we want,
we say it’s not good—
just like the fox!



🧠 Moral of the Story:

We often pretend to dislike what we can’t have. It’s better to accept our limits and try again another time.
