答案 The Fox and the Grapes One hot, dry summer’s day, a fox was passing through a large orchard, lined with vines loaded with ripe, juicy fruits of all kinds. Passing under one tree, the fox spied a beautiful clump of purple grapes hanging from a vine that had grown into the branches of the tree. Very thirsty, the fox thought how delicious a few sweet grapes would taste. Although the grapes are out of the fox’s reach, he was determined to get those grapes one way or another. The fox walked a little away from the tree. He turned toward the tree and ran as fast as he could until he was al most directly under the grapes; then he leaped into the air— just missing the clump. The fox landed with a loud thump. He brushed himself off and tried to run and jump for the grapes again—and again—each time with no success. The luscious fruit hung safely out of his reach. Finally, the fox had to give it up, and as he walked away with his nose in the air, he said, "Those grapes are probably sour anyway." It is easy to despise what you can not get.
