The Fox and the Grapes
From Aesop’s Fables:
A famished Fox crept into a vineyard where he spied a cluster of ripe, luscious grapes draped high upon the arbor. He took a run and a jump, and just missed the bunch. Again and again he tried to reach the tasty prize, but with no greater success. At last he had to admit defeat and he walked away muttering to himself, “What does it matter, I’m sure those grapes are sour anyway!” Moral: It is easy to despise what you cannot have.

I love your style, and not just because it’s a little like mine ;-)! All the books I loved best as a kid had illustrations that looked like this…
