"The Fox and the Grapes" is a classic fable that tells the story of a hungry fox who comes across a bunch of grapes hanging high on a vine. Despite his attempts to reach them, the grapes remain tantalizingly out of reach. Frustrated and unwilling to admit defeat, the fox eventually declares the grapes to be sour and unworthy of his efforts. This tale highlights the theme of self-deception and serves as a reminder that people often belittle what they cannot obtain, illustrating the age-old adage of "sour grapes" in the face of disappointment.

The Fox and the Grapes
One hot summer’s day a Fox was walking through an orchard when he spotted a bunch of juicy grapes just out of reach. ‘Yum,’ thought Fox. ‘Those grapes would be great to quench my thirst’. Fox took a running jump but missed the grapes. He tried again and again but could not reach the grapes. Eventually he gave up and told himself that this was no loss anyhow as the grapes would probably have been sour anyway. Moral: it is easy to despise what you cannot get.
