Fox is tired, grumpy, hot, hungry, and thirsty. All day looking for work, his morale is at an all-time low.
He sits on a bench to rest in the shade, opens the newspaper to the "Classified Ads" section, and finds nothing of interest. He puts the newspaper down, wipes his face with a handkerchief, loosens his tie and leans his head back for a nap.
That's when he sees the grapes hanging over his head.
“Look at that, big juicy grapes, just hanging over my head.”
He stands on the bench and swipes at the grapes with his newspaper, but can’t reach them. He puts the newspaper down, steps back a few paces and jumps as high as he can.
No good.
He backs up a bit more, runs, and jumps even higher… What a waste of time!
Fox is so engrossed he doesn't see Bunny passing on her way to market. She stops to observe him jumping around like a fool.
She looks at her watch, sits down, crosses her legs, sips her cappuccino, picks up the newspaper and starts to read. Finally, she raises her head to gaze at Fox who is becoming more frustrated every minute, not to say extremely tired. He is about to kick the vine when...
“What is it, honey? Trouble reaching the grapes? They look quite delicious.” Really, Bunny is having too much fun watching him cavort.
Slowly, Fox puts his foot down, sits, takes out his handkerchief, wipes his face and closes his eyes. This rabbit talks too much.
