From the hilarious author man who created Smart Cookie, Good Egg, and Bad Seed comes a sixth food metaphor brought to life. This one is about Sour Grape. And let me tell you, this grape is one sour fruit. I'm from the City that Never Sleeps, so I know grouchiness. However, Sour Grape wasn't always like this. Only after no one came to his birthday party did his sourness set in. From then on, he was a nasty meany to everyone, holding grudge after grudge, even for the tiniest slights. One day a friend holds a grudge against Sour Grape and won't listen to his explanation. Sour Grape realizes how unfair grudges can be, and after a series of revelations (revelations are so revealing, aren't they?), Sour Grape becomes sour no more. In the end, we all learn a valuable lesson about letting go of our sour feelings and enjoying the sweet side of life. Or, if you're me, the saucy side.
