The Fox and the Grapes is one of Aesop's Fables. The story tells us that a fox who tries to eat grapes from a vine but cannot reach them. Rather than confess defeat, he states they are undesirable. The Fox and the Grapes Once upon a time, in a lush vineyard, there lived a clever fox known far and wide for his cunning ways. One hot summer day, as he wandered through the vineyard, his eyes fell upon a bunch of ripe, juicy grapes hanging tantalizingly just out of reach. "I must have those grapes," thought the fox, licking his lips in anticipation. Unfortunately the grapes were beyond his reach.

And with that thought, the fox walked away, leaving the grapes untouched. Moral : It's easy to despise what you cannot have. Conclusion:  The moral of the story is that it is easy to despi...

The Lesson of a Proud King Once upon a time there was a king in England. He was very proud of his power. One day he said to his courtiers, ‘I am the most powerful king. I can control everything on earth. Even nature cannot dare to disobey me,’ But some of his courtiers expressed their doubts about his power. So, he took them to the sea-shore. Standing on the sea-shore, he said to the waves, ‘I am your master. Don’t come near us. Move back’. Instead of obeying his orders, the waves of the sea lashed at the feet of the king. At this, the king moved back from shore in fear and understood his own folly. Moral : Veiled pride is always subdued.
