The Resort
(O.V.Vijayan Short translated from Malayalam.)
A fox entered a fruit shop and asked the price for grapes.
"Fifteen rupees per kilo", said the shop keeper.
"Can you give it for five rupees?", asked the fox.
"No", answered the shop keeper.
"Six rupees?"
"No."
"Six and a half?"
"No."
"Six and three fourths?"
"No.", said the shop keeper.
"Chee, these grapes are sour.", said the fox.
There were people wo heard that remark. The shopkeeper said he would file a case against the fox for loss in sales with them as witnesses.
When it was not possible to keep up anymore, the fox found resort in a Panchatantra tale*.

* 'The Fox and the Grapes' is an Aesop's fable to be precise.
