privilege question

I connect to my 8.1.7 instance as user "bugle" and create table named "bugle_table" in this schema.

Then I connect as sys and issue following:

GRANT SELECT ON BUGLE.BUGLE_TABLE TO <another_existing_user>;

I get
ORA-01031: insufficient privileges.
Why is sys not able to do this? I tried the same with an existing id having DBA role, and get the same error.
