| One
hot summer's day a
Fox
was
strolling {through an
orchard} [(Adverb
to "was strolling") till he
came
{to
a bunch} {of
Grapes} just ripening{on
a vine} [(Adjective
to "vine") which
had
been trained{over
a lofty branch.}]] /
[(DO of "quoth") "*This
is*
Just
the thing
(PN) to quench my
thirst,"] quoth
he.
/
Drawing back
a few paces,
he
took
a
run
and a
jump,
and just
missed
the
bunch.
/
Turning round again {with a One,
Two, Three,} he
jumped
up,
butNote
#1 {with no
greater
success.} /
Again and again he
tried {after
the tempting morsel,}
but {at
last} had
to give it up,
and
walked
away {with his
nose} {in the air}, saying:
[(DO
of "saying") "I am
sure [(Adverb
to "sure" orNote # 2 DO of "am
sure") they
are
sour
."
]]
/
It is
easy
to despise [(DO
of "to despise") what
you cannot
get.]
