THE FOX AND THE GRAPES
(Based on an Aesop's Fable)
By Josie Whitehead
A fox, in a vineyard, saw some very fine grapes
Which dangled from high on a bough.
'They may be delicious,' thought Freddy the Fox,
'But to get them? My problem is ‘how’?'
​
He jumped and he jumped and quite wore himself out
But reach them? Of course he did not -
And all of this jumping caused Freddy the Fox
To begin to feel terribly hot.
​
He leapt up again and then had to give up
For he’d jumped now for more than an hour,
So, walking away, with his nose in the air
He declared: 'Well, they were probably sour.'​25​​
