英语趣味小故事——《The Fox and the Grapes》
Once upon a time, in a lush green forest, there was a fox with a big mouth and a greedy heart. One sunny afternoon, the fox was walking through the forest when he saw a vine with ripe grapes hanging from a tree branch. The grapes were so red and juicy that the fox's mouth watered just looking at them.
The fox tried his best to reach the grapes, but they were too high for him. He leaped and jumped, but the grapes were always just out of reach. Finally, after many attempts, the fox became frustrated and sat down by the tree, feeling sad.
As he sat there, the fox thought about the grapes. "These grapes are probably sour," he said to himself. "They are not worth the trouble of trying to get them." With that, the fox got up and walked away, leaving the grapes hanging on the vine.
And so, the fox taught us a lesson: sometimes, what seems like a big deal might not be worth the effort after all.
