I’ve finished the book Ghosts and Legends of Frederick County by Cannon and Whitmore. So, to take a little break before moving on to other legends, here’s one of Aesop’s Fables called The Fox and the Grapes.
“A fox one day spied a beautiful bunch of ripe grapes hanging from a vine up in the branches of a tree. The grapes seemed ready to burst with sweet juice. The fox’s mouth watered as he gazed longingly at them.”
The sweet looking bunch of grapes hung high up in the tree, causing the fox to have to jump for them. The first time he jumped, he was way off the mark. The second time he jumped, he took a running jump. He still missed. Each time he jumped, he missed the grapes.
“What a fool I am,” said the fox. “Here I am wearing myself out to get a bunch of grapes. They are not worth my effort. I am sure they are sour.”
He walked off with his nose in the air.
Hope you have a great day!
Thanks for stopping by!!

Genesis 9: 12-17 (NKJV)
And God said: “This is the sign of the covenant which I make between Me and you, and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations: 13 I set My rainbow in the cloud, and it shall be for the sign of the covenant between Me and the earth. 14 It shall be, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the rainbow shall be seen in the cloud; 15 and I will remember My covenant which is between Me and you and every living creature of all flesh; the waters shall never again become a flood to destroy all flesh. 16 The rainbow shall be in the cloud, and I will look on it to remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is on the earth.” 17 And God said to Noah, “This is the sign of the covenant which I have established between Me and all flesh that is on the earth.”
Some women are made of steel, stones, tears, dust, bones and scars. Others are made of books, music, rainfall, stardust, moonlight, flowers, daydreams and wild adventures.
The rare ones are made of both.
