The Fox and the Grapes
A hung, \"Let who will take ry fox xame into the vineyard wherethere hung delicious clusters of ripe Grapes; his mouth watered tobe at them; but they were nailed up to a trellis so high, that withall his springing and leaping he could not reach a single bunch. Atlast growing tired and disappointed, \"Let who will take them!\" sayshe, they are but green and sour; so I'll e'en let them alone.\"
Question: In your words explain the meaning of the fable. Is the\"sour grapes\" explanation a satisfactory excuse, or is it arationalization for failure?
