A hungry fox out for a walk spots some grapes hanging from a vine. Whilst he wouldn’t normally pick grapes to eat, he’s so hungry that he jumps up eagerly to grab them. After realising that he can’t reach them, the bitter and angry fox gives up, declaring that they must be sour anyway and not worth the effort. A clever crow has been observing the fox and points out that the grapes are, in fact, delicious and sweet and that the fox has been ungracious in his defeat.
