　　伊索寓言：狐狸和葡萄(双语)

　　The fox and the grapes

　　One hot summer day a fox was walking through an orchard. He stopped before a bunch of grapes. They were ripe and juicy.

　　"I’m just feeling thirsty," he thought. So he backed up a few paces, got a running start, jumped up, but could not reach the grapes.

　　He walked back. One, two, three, he jumped up again, but still, he missed the grapes.

　　The fox tried again and again, but never succeeded. At last he decided to give it up.

　　He walked away with his nose in the air, and said“I am sure they are sour.”

　　●一个炎热的夏日，狐狸走过一个果园，他停在一大串熟透而多汁的葡萄前。
