The fox and the grapes لومڑی اور انگور

ایک لومڑی بہت بھوکی تھی۔

Aik lomṛi bohat bhooki thi.

A fox was very hungry.

اس نے ایک بیل پر پکے ہوئے انگوروں کے گچھے لٹکتے دیکھے۔

Us ne aik bel par pakke hue angooron ke guchhe latakte dekhe.

She saw bunches of ripe grapes hanging from a vine.

اس نے انگور توڑنے کے لیے بار بار چھلانگ لگائی۔

Us ne angoor toṛne ke liye baar baar chhalaang lagaayi.

She jumped again and again to pick the grapes.

مگر انگور بہت اونچے تھے اور اس کا منہ ان تک نہ پہنچ سکا۔

Magar angoor bohat oonche the aur us ka munh un tak na pohanch saka.

But the grapes were too high and she could not reach them.

آخر وہ تھک کر بولی: یہ انگور تو کھٹے ہیں! اور چلی گئی۔

Aakhir woh thak kar boli: Yeh angoor to khatte hain! Aur chali gayi.

At last, tired, she said: These grapes are sour anyway! And she walked away.
