A Fox one day spied a beautiful bunch of ripe grapes hanging from a vine. The grapes seemed ready to burst with juice and the Fox’s mouth watered as he gazed longingly at them.
The bunch hung from a high branch, and the Fox had to jump for it. The first time he jumped he missed it by a long way. So he walked a short distance and took a running leap, only to fall short once more. Again and again he tried, but in vain.
Now he sat down and looked at the grapes in disgust.
“What a fool I am,” he said. “Here I am wearing myself out to get a bunch of stupid sour grapes that are not worth gaping for.” And off he walked very, very scornfully.
Which fits best as the morale of this story?
It's easy to dislike what you can't have.
When you don't succeed, try again.
When you fail, call your friends for help.
Don't try again when you fail.

A Fox once saw a Crow with a piece of cheese in its beak and settle on a branch of a tree.
“Good day, Crow,” he cried. “How well you look today: how glossy your feathers; how bright your
eyes. Your voice must surpass that of other birds, ; let me hear but one song from you.”
The Crow lifted up her head and began to sing her best, but the moment she opened her mouth the piece of cheese fell to the ground, only to be snapped up by Master Fox.
What best fits as the morale?
Always say please and thank you when you receive a gift.
Be careful of those offering you compliments.
Being tricky gets you punished in the end.
Greed gets you no where in life.
