“In this fable, a hungry fox spots a bunch of grapes hanging high on a vine and desperately tries to reach them. After several attempts to grab the grapes, the fox fails and becomes frustrated. As he walks away, he dismisses the grapes as sour and unworthy. The story illustrates the concept of "sour grapes," where people tend to belittle what they cannot obtain, teaching a lesson about how we often devalue what we cannot achieve.”
