Sour Grapes
A very hungry fox walked into a vineyard where there was an ample
supply of luscious looking grapes. Grapes had never looked so good, and the
fox was famished. However, the grapes hung higher than the fox could reach.
He jumped and stretched and hopped and reached and jumped some more trying
to get those yummy grapes, but to no avail. No matter what he tried, he
could not reach the grapes. He wore himself out jumping and jumping to get
the grapes.
"Those grapes surely must be sour," he said as he walked away, "I wouldn't
eat them if they were served to me on a silver platter."
Moral of the story: It is easy to hate
what you cannot have.
