Task 5. Read the following text. The Fox and The Grapes
Long time ago there was a fox who loved to eat. He lived close to a vineyard and he used to stare at the lovely grapes that hung there.
How juice they look. Oh I am sure these are stuff that melts in the mouth when you have them. If only I could reach them. One sunny day, the fox woke up and
saw the grapes glistening  by the sunlight. The vineyard  looked heavenly and the grapes  looked  so  luscious  that  the  famished  fox  could  not  control  himself.  He
jumped  to  reach  them  but  he  felt  down.  He  jumped  again.  No,  they  were  much higher.    He  jumped  even  more. But they were  still out of reach.  He  jumped and
stretched and hopped but to no avail. Those yummy grapes hung higher than the fox could reach. No matter how hard he tried, the fox could not reach the grapes.
He panted and began to sweat out of exhaustion. Giving  up  finally,  he  looked  up  in  contempt  and  said  as  he  walked  away,
Those grapes surely must be sour. I wouldnt eat them even if they were served to me on a golden dish.

wouldnt eat them even if they were served to me on a golden dish.

flow out but the jug was too heavy. The crow thought hard for a while. Then looking around it, he saw some
pebbles. he suddenly had a good idea. He started picking up the pebbles one by one,  dropping  each  into  the  jug.  As  more  and  more  pebbles  filled  the  jug,  the
water level kept rising. Soon it was high enough for the crow to drink. His plan had worked

Suddenly,  he  saw  a  water  jug  below  the  tree.  He  flew  straight  down  to  see  if there was any water inside. Yes, he could see some water inside the jug
