Fox And The Grapes – Aesop

One afternoon a fox was walking through the forest and spotted a bunch of grapes hanging from over a lofty branch.

“Just the thing to quench my thirst,” he thought.

Taking a few steps back, the fox jumped and just missed the hanging grapes.

Again the fox took a few paces back and tried to reach them but still failed.

Finally, giving up, the fox turned up his nose and said;

“They’re probably sour anyway,” and proceeded to walk away.

Moral of the story:

It’s easy to despise what you can’t have.
