狐狸与葡萄讲的是在一个炎热的夏日，一只狐狸走过一个果园，它停在了一大串熟透而多汁的葡萄前。它从早上到现在一点儿东西也没吃呢！
一个炎热的夏日，一只狐狸走过一个果园，它停在了一大串熟透而多汁的葡萄前。
它从早上到现在一点儿东西也没吃呢！狐狸想：我正口渴呢。于是他后退了几步，向前一冲，跳起来，却无法够到葡萄。狐狸后退了几步继续试着够葡萄。
一次，两次，三次，但是都没有得到葡萄。狐狸试了又试，都没有成功，最后，它决定放弃，它昂起头，边走边说：“我敢肯定它是酸的。”
正要摘葡萄的孔雀说：“既然是酸的那就不吃了。”
孔雀又告诉了准备摘葡萄的长颈鹿，长颈鹿没有摘，长颈鹿告诉了树上的猴子，猴子说：“我才不信呢，我种的葡萄我不知道吗？肯定是甜的。”猴子说着便摘了一串吃了起来，吃的非常香甜。
1、通过狐狸吃不到葡萄就说葡萄酸的故事，讽刺了无能为力，做不成事，却偏偏说时机还没有成熟的人。
2、在一个人经历多次失败后，会形成心理暗示，并且将这种消极的暗示传递给他人，从而无法取得成功。所以我们永远不能一意孤行，要用不同的角度去观察和解决问题。
One hot summer day a fox was walking through an orchard. He stopped before a bunch of grapes. They were ripe and juicy."I'm just feeling thirsty," he thought. So he backed up a few paces, got a .
running start, jumped up, but could not reach the grapes. He walked back. One, two, three, he jumped up again, but still, he missed the grapes. The fox tried again and again, but never succeeded. At last he decided to give it up. He， walked away with his nose in the air, and said“I am sure they are sour.”
