The fox and the sour grapes (short story)
One day a fox was wandering around the countryside, suddenly he saw a bunch of grapes hanging from a high branch in a garden - "This is what I needed to quench my thirst!" Said the fox to himself with joy.
He took a few steps back and then jumped to catch the cluster, but he failed. He tried again and again, he get nothing else than failure.
At last, he gave up, he walked away from the garden, arrogantly saying: "It's sour fruit anyway...I don't want it anymore!"
From this short story we discover that it is very easy to criticize what you cannot reach.
