The fox sees a bunch of grapes hanging from a vine but cannot reach them no matter how many times he jumps. Feeling frustrated by his failure, the fox concludes the grapes must be sour and not worth the effort, allowing him to save face by rejecting them instead of admitting defeat. The moral is that it is human nature to scorn and dismiss things we cannot attain so we do not feel the sting of failure.

grapes hanging from a vine trained along the branches of a tree. The grapes seemed ready to burst with juice, and the Fox's mouth watered as he gazed longingly at them. The bunch hung from a high branch, and the Fox had to jump for it. The first time he jumped he missed it by a long way. So he walked off a short distance and took a running leap at it, only to fall short once more. Again and again he tried, but in vain.
Now he sat down and looked at
the grapes in disgust. "What a fool I am," he said. "Here I am wearing myself out to get a bunch of sour grapes that are not worth gaping for."
And off he walked very,
very scornfully. Moral of the Story From this story we learned that is natural for us to dislike or scorn something that is not within our grasp. Not because the task is impossible, rather because they give up before even trying more harder. So we learned that a task is never impossible only difficult, as long as we tried one could achieved it.
