Homonym: The Fox and the Grapes (Fable)
"The Fox and the Grapes" is a fable attributed to Aesop. In the story, a hungry fox sees a bunch of ripe grapes hanging high on a vine. After several attempts to reach them, the fox realizes he cannot get to the grapes and decides to walk away, claiming they are probably sour anyway.
This fable illustrates the concept of cognitive dissonance, where individuals rationalize their failures by belittling what they cannot attain. The phrase "sour grapes" has since become a common expression to describe this behavior, highlighting how people often dismiss what they cannot have.
