The Fox and Her False Comfort

(Based on The Fox and the Grapes)

On a scorching afternoon, a thirsty fox spotted a bunch of juicy grapes hanging high on a vine. She jumped repeatedly, trying to reach them, but failed every time.

Exhausted and embarrassed, the fox walked away muttering, “Those grapes are probably sour anyway.” She pretended she never wanted them.

Moral: When we fail, we often make excuses to hide our disappointment instead of accepting the truth.
