Vulpes et Uva

I'm using some new crossword puzzle software (online, fast, easy) to create new puzzles to go with the new Aesop's fables I'm posting at LatinViaFables.com.

Today's fable at Latin Via Fables is Vulpes et Uva: Fox and Grapes. You can visit the Latin Via Fables page to see the Latin text, English translation and some grammar help.
