葡萄架上的葡萄（grape）熟了，看起来很美味。狐狸想吃葡萄，但却够不到，只得作罢。小松鼠们也想吃葡萄，但是狐狸告诉他们葡萄是酸的（sour）。Are the grapes really sour?

葡萄真的是酸的吗？Let’s read the story.

Grapes are ripe（成熟的）.

They are purple（紫的）and round（圆圆的）.

They look yummy（美味的）.

A fox comes.

“I like grapes,” says the fox.

The fox tries to pick（采摘） the grapes.

But he fails（失败）.

A squirrel is picking grapes.

“Squirrel，what are you doing?” asks the fox.

“I’m picking some grapes，” says the squirrel.

“Don’t eat sour grapes，” says the fox.

“Oh，I don’t like sour grapes，” says the squirrel.

The squirrel goes away.
