ONE hot summer’s day a Fox was strolling through an orchard till he came to a bunch of Grapes just ripening on a vine which had been trained over a lofty branch. “Just the things 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, but 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: “I am sure they are sour.”
I had to tell my niece the fable of the sour grapes last weekend. She’s 17 and had never heard of it! As C.S. Lewis said (in a completely different context), “Bless me, what ARE they teaching the children in the schools these days?”
Brevity is not only the soul of wit, it's also not your normal comics fare. In the hands of Dan, it is sharply intelligent, amusingly idiosyncratic and often uproariously funny.

If that’s a fable, where’s the moral?

It’s a myth.

Don’t trust that wag in the puddle, as soon as the sun comes up he’ll be gone.

The dog on the left looks like a Labrador Retriever, the one on the right is a Púddle

I was never much of a fan of Mr. Rogers—such a goody one-sweater!
