The Fox and the Grapes retold by AesopOne day a fox came upon a grape orchard and found a bunch of beautiful grapes hanging from a high branch. “Boy those sure would be tasty, “ he thought to himself. He backed up and took a running start, and jumped. He did not get high enough. He went back to his starting spot and tried again. He almost got high enough this time, but he still could not reach the grapes. He tried again and again, but he just couldn’t get high enough to reach the grapes. Finally, he gave up. As he walked away, he put his nose in the air and said:“I am sure those grapes are sour anyway.” It is easy to hate what you cannot have.What is the GENRE?
