The fox and the grapes is one of the classic fables from Aesop. And it remains timeless in the lesson it illustrates.
The tale is about a fox who sees a clump of grapes hanging from a tree and decides to eat them to quench his thirst. Trying mightily the fox cannot jump high enough to retrieve the grapes. The fruit remains beyond the fox’s grasp.
Frustrated and disappointed by this failure the fox doesn't want to admit that he's unable to achieve his goal. To cover for his big ego, shortcomings and damaged pride, he claims that the grapes were sour and he wouldn't have enjoyed them anyway.
