In the poem "Sour Grapes" by William Carlos Williams, the fox was eager because he couldn't reach the grapes hanging high on the vine and convinced himself that they were probably sour anyway to ease his disappointment. This can be seen as a metaphor for people rationalizing their failures by devaluing what they desire but cannot have.
