The lesson in "The Fox and the Grapes" is that we tend to dislike what we cannot have. The fox convinces himself that the grapes are sour because he cannot reach them, showing how we often devalue things that are out of our reach. This fable teaches us the importance of not belittling something just because we are unable to attain it.
