Question

One hot summer's day a Fox Was
strolling through an orchard till he
came to a bunch of Grapes just
ripening on a vine which had been
trained over a lofty branch. "Just the
thing to quench my thirst," said the
fox. Drawing back a few paces, he
took a run
and a jump, and just
missed
the bunch. Turning round
again with a one, two, three, he
jumped
Up,
but with no greater
success. Again and again he tried
after the tempting morsel, but at last,
had to give it up, and walked away
with his nose in the air, saying: "I am
sure they are sour.'What text evidence
supports the theme? In short sentence

Answer 1

The text evidence that supports the theme is when the fox, after numerous failed attempts to reach the grapes, walks away saying, "I am sure they are sour." This reflects the theme of rationalizing failure by dismissing what one cannot attain.
