The monkey shook the branch and a few grapes fell out. The fox
caught them neatly in his mouth.
“These are the sweetest grapes I have ever tasted,” said the fox
with a laugh as he walked away.
The monkey scratched his head. “It is the same vine. How can
the grapes taste different today?” he wondered.
The wise tree, which was a silent witness to all this, spoke: “this
time he got the grapes from his own effort. That made them
sweeter.”
This story is a new take on the classic Aesop Fable, The Fox
And The Grapes.
