The Fox and The Grapes
Once upon a time, a clever fox was walking through the forest when it spotted a bunch of grapes hanging from a high branch. The fox’s mouth watered at the sight.
“I want those grapes!” the fox exclaimed.
The fox took a few steps back and tried to jump up to reach the grapes, but it missed. It tried again, and again, but it couldn’t reach them. The fox started to feel a bit frustrated.
“They’re probably sour anyway,” the fox grumbled, and walked away with a shrug, leaving the grapes behind.
Having no food to eat that night, he slept on an empty stomach.
Moral of the Story: We make excuses when something is too difficult to attain. Instead of working hard for it, we tell ourselves that it’s probably not that great.
