The Fox and the Grapes

    One afternoon there was a fox that was walking through the forest and spotted a bunch of grapes hanging from over a lofty branch. "Just the thing to quench my thirst," quoted the fox. Taking a few steps backward, the fox jumped but unfortunately he missed the hanging grapes. Again the fox took a few places backward, ran, and tried to reach them but he still failed.

    Finally, giving up, the fox turned up his nose and said, "They're probably sour anyway," and proceeded to walk away.

What did the fox do to get the grape?
