THE FOX & THE GRAPES
|
This Fox has a longing for grapes, He jumps, but the bunch still escapes. So he goes away sour; And, ’tis said, to this hour Declares that he’s no taste for grapes. |
THE GRAPES OF DISAPPOINTMENT ARE ALWAYS SOUR
THE COCK & THE PEARL
|
A rooster, while scratching for grain, Found a Pearl. He just paused to explain That a jewel’s no good To a fowl wanting food, And then kicked it aside with disdain. |
IF HE ASK BREAD WILL YE GIVE HIM A STONE?
