The Fox and The Vineyard

A hungry fox went to look for food. He walked along the country roads and came to a vineyard. Of course he wanted to ge inside, but he could not do so because there was a high wall all round the place. He tried to climb the wall but it was too high.

He walked round the wall and at one part saw a hole. “Ah” He tought. “Now” I can get inside. He began to push himself through the hole but he was too fat.

“There is only one thing for me to do.” He said at last. “I must become thinner”. For a whole day he did not get anything to eat and the he tried to get trhough the hole, but he was still too fat. He ate nothing for another day and he did not get thin enough. At the end of the third day, he found that he could get through the hole.

At last he was inside the vineyard and could eat the fruit. The grapes were sweet and he ate as many as he could. He ate and ate till he could not eat anymore. Then he went to the hole and tried to through. But alas! He could not do so. He was too fat.

Poor fox! There was only one thing for him to do now. He had to stay in the vineyard with the fine fruits all round him and be hungry for three days. At the end of that time, the fox became thin and he could get through the hole.
