Fox and Grapes

 

A fox was very hungry and came into a vineyard where lots of lovely ripe grapes were hanging on the vines. The fox jumped up and up again until he was tired but he did not get one grape. So he said to himself,"Let somebody else have the stupid grapes. They are so green and probably sour, I don´t want them."

 

Moral:

When people cannot get what they want, they often say, "I don´t like this" as an excuse.
