Part of the Aesop's Fables: Timeless Moral Stories series
A fox's quest for unreachable grapes leads to a bitter realization.
A determined fox faces a tantalizing challenge: grapes hanging just out of reach. Despite relentless efforts, the prize remains elusive, prompting a bitter retreat. Was it the grapes or the fox's pride that soured the day? Discover the timeless lesson hidden in this classic fable, where persistence meets reality and pride takes a fall.
A hungry fox tries repeatedly to reach some grapes hanging high on a vine. After numerous attempts, the fox gives up and stalks angrily away, saying that the grapes were most likely sour anyway. Additional features include pages defining fables and morals, an introduction to Aesop, a Think-About-It section, activities for further learning, and an introduction to both the author and illustrator.
