THE FOX AND THE GRAPES

‘One hot summer’s day a Fox was strolling through an orchard till he came to a bunch of Grapes just ripening on a vine which had been trained over a lofty branch. “Just the thing to quench my thirst,” he said. Drawing back a few paces, he took a run and a jump, and just missed the bunch. Turning round again with a One, Two, Three, he jumped up, but with no greater success. Again and again he tried after the tempting morsel, but at last had to give it up, and walked away with his nose in the air, saying: “I am sure they are sour.”’

Moral of the story: It is easy to despise what you cannot get.

“What comes out of a person is what defiles him. For from within, out of the heart of man, come evil thoughts…  envy, slander, pride, foolishness. All these evil things come from within, and they defile a person.” Jesus
