Question

1. A fox who was hot and hungry and thirsty was walking through a fi eld one summer day. 2 He saw a bunch of grapes growing high above him. 3 He knew that the grapes would of course relieve both his hunger and his thirst. 4 He leaped into the air to try to reach the delicious-looking fruit, but his teeth snapped together inches away. 5 For an hour in the hot sun he tried again and again. 6 He put more energy and effort into each leap. 7 Even so, he failed every time. 8 As he walked away, he lifted his nose in the air and said, “It doesn’t matter. 9 I’m sure they’re sour.” 10 It’s easy, you see, to look down on what you don’t have and can’t get.
