One day, a fox was walking through the woods (树林) when he saw some tasty grapes hanging from a branch (树枝) high above him. He was quite hungry.
First, the fox tried to jump in the air and grab the grapes. But with each jump, he was just inches (英寸) away from getting the grapes. As he jumped and jumped, he was getting further and further away from the grapes. After a short rest, he tried taking a few steps back and doing a running jump at the grapes—but again, he could not reachthem.
He even tried to climb the tree to reach the grapes, but his paws (爪子) weren't strong enough for him to pull himself up the tree. How he wished he had the same paws as a monkey.
He sat and looked at the grapes angrily.
Just then, a bear happened to walk by the fox. He saw the fox looking at the grapes. The fox turned to him and said, "Never mind.Those grapes probably don't taste good anyway. "And with that, he turned once more and left.
The bear reached up, grabbed the grapes and ate them. They were, of course, quite delicious. "Why not ask me for help?" The bear thought.
