The Fox and the Grapes

Aesop’s Fables

Aesop, a writer who lived in ancient Greece, created many fables—stories that teach lessons. This picture shows Aesop’s story of “The Fox and the Grapes.” A hungry fox cannot reach some grapes on a vine, so he tells himself they must be spoiled. The lesson of this fable is that it is easy to dislike something you can’t have.Encarta EncyclopediaCorbis
