伊索寓言是古代希腊文化中非常著名的寓言，其中最为出名的一则故事便是狐狸和葡萄的故事。

原文：

一只狐狸看到一个葡萄园，里面有很多美味的葡萄，于是它便想要去采摘。可是葡萄已经长得很高了，它无论怎么跳都够不着。于是它想出了一个办法，就是说：“这些葡萄看起来并不是很甜，我也不想吃了。”于是它就走开了。

翻译：

A fox saw a vineyard with a lot of delicious grapes and was eager to pick them. However, the grapes were already too high for the fox to reach, no matter how hard it jumped. So, it came up with a solution by saying, 'These grapes don't look very sweet, and I don't want to eat them anyway.' Then, it walked away.
