The Fox and the Grapes

روباه و انگور

Once there was a fox. He was hungry. He went in search of food. He could not find any food. At last he reached a vineyard. Bunches of grapes were hanging. He wanted to get them.

یک بار یک روباه بود. او گرسنه بود. او به دنبال غذا رفت. هیچ غذایی پیدا نکرد. بالاخره به یک تاکستان رسید. خوشه های انگور آویزان بود. می خواست آنها را بگیرد.

His mouth began to water. The grapes were very high. He tried to get at the grapes. He jumped again and again. But all his efforts were useless. The grapes were too high for him to reach. He got tired. He was sure that he could not get the grapes. He gave up the attempt. He went away saying that the grapes were sour.

آب دهانش شروع شد. انگور بسیار بالا بود. او سعی کرد به انگور برسد. دوباره و دوباره پرید. اما تمام تلاش او بی فایده بود. انگور آنقدر بلند بود که نمی توانست به آن برسد. او خسته شد. او مطمئن بود که نمی تواند انگور را بدست آورد. از تلاش منصرف شد. رفت و گفت انگور ترش است.

Moral: The grapes are sour if they are not within reach.

اخلاق: انگور اگر در دسترس نباشد ترش است.
