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," quoth he.  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."

     It is easy to despise what you cannot get.
