原文:
A Fox, just at the time of the vintage, stole into a vine-yard where the ripe sunny Grapes were trellised up on high in most tempting show. He made many a spring and a jump after the luscious prize, but, failing in all his attempts, he muttered as he retreated:"Well what does it matter! The Grapes are sour!"
译文:
正当葡萄熟了的时候,一只狐狸偷偷地溜进了葡萄园。葡萄架上高高地挂着亮晶晶的、熟透了的葡萄,显得十分诱人。他跳了好几跳,蹦了好几蹦,想吃到这甘美的葡萄,但是他的企图全落空了,走开的时候,他自言自语说:"得了!这有什么!这葡萄是酸的。"
