The Fox and the Grapes

A fox, famished with hunger, saw some large juicy grapes hanging out of his reach.  Eager to eat them, he resorted to all kinds of tricks to reach them.  All his efforts were in vain.  He turned away, hiding his disappointment.  He said, “Those grapes are sour anyway and not even ripe.” 

 Moral: It is easy despise what you do not possess.
