Fox and the grapes is one of the more well known of the
Aesop's Fables. The story illustrates the common tendency of people to speak
unfavourably of thing that they are unable to get for themselves, although in reality
they may like it.
The plot of the story is that a fox tries
to reach up to and eat grapes that he sees growing, but is unable to reach them because
they are too high. Realizing that he cannot get the grapes, the fox gives up effort to
reach the grapes, commenting that the gapes are sour, and therefor not worth
eating.
