The Fox and the Grapes
फ्याउरो र अंगुर
A hungry fox tries to reach some juicy grapes, only to give up with a classic excuse.
एउटा भोक लागेको फ्याउरोले एउटा अंगुरको झ्याङ देख्यो। अंगुरहरू धेरै राम्रा र रसिला देखिन्थे।
A hungry fox saw a bunch of grapes hanging from a vine. The grapes looked very nice and juicy.
उसले अंगुर टिप्न धेरै पटक उफ्र्यो, तर उसको हातै पुगेन। अंगुर धेरै माथि थियो।
He jumped many times to pick the grapes, but his hand could not reach. The grapes were too high.
अन्त्यमा उसले आश मार्यो र भन्यो, 'यी अंगुरहरू त अमिला रहेछन्, मलाई खान मन छैन।' अनि ऊ त्यहाँबाट हिंड्यो।
Finally, he gave up and said, 'These grapes are sour anyway, I don't want to eat them.' Then he walked away.
