In fact, Aesop [620 B.C. - 560 B.C.] may not be the author of the fable. But he nevertheless is important, for his passing on of stories that were passed on to him from even more ancient tellings. And 'The Fox and the Grapes' always has been a favorite, with its insightful ending moral, 'It is easy to despise what you can't get'.
