A very hungry fox walked into a vineyard
where there was an ample supply of
luscious looking grapes. Grapes had never
looked so good, and the fox was famished.
However, the grapes hung higher than the
fox could reach. He jumped and stretched
and hopped and reached and jumped some
more trying to get those yummy grapes, but
to no avail. No matter what he tried, he could
not reach the grapes. He wore himself out
jumping and jumping to get the grapes.
"Those grapes surely must be sour,"
he said as he walked away, "I wouldn't eat them
if they were served to me on a silver platter."
It is easy to hate what you cannot have.
Reflection:
This happens to us sometimes. Just like when someone has new things and we don't have something like that, we don't give care to it and we don't appreciate what they have. But when we already have that kind of things, we want others to appreciate what we have.
