One day a fox travelled many miles and was very hungry. He looked about for food but found nothing to eat.

At last he saw a grapevine on which fine bunches of ripe, black grapes were hanging. The Fox stood up but the grapes were too high above his head.

He made several jumps upwards; still the grapes were beyond his reach. When he could not get at them by any means, he turned away.

While going away, he tried to console himself saying, “The grapes are sour, and not as ripe as they look!”

Finding himself quite unhappy for her loss, he resolved to marry a second time, thinking by this means he should be as happy as before. Unfortunately, however, the lady he chanced to fix upon was the proudest and most haughty woman ever known; she was always out of humour with every one; nobody could please her, and she returned the civilities of those about her with the most affronting disdain. She had two daughters by a former husband. These she brought up to be proud and idle. Indeed, in temper and behaviour they perfectly resembled their mother; they did not love their books, and would not learn to work; in short they were disliked by everybody.
