The story of the fox, the lure of grapes, but never managed to achieve the desired sounds in the works, created much earlier by Ivan Krylov's fable "The Fox and the Grapes."What it tells fabulist?Starved she saw a fox in a strange garden ripe tasty grapes and struggled to jump him, but without success.After many attempts godfather annoyed: "In the eyes of some it was good, but green," and "you will fill immediately on edge."The author here, in contrast to their other fables, does not give straight lines, which contain the morals.However, the obvious moral message of fable: The fox and the grapes - a man and his goal that he sees a desirable and accessible.Unable to reach her, he was disappointed, but did not want to acknowledge their weakness and inferiority, and then begins to depreciate hypocritical desired, disparaging comments about it.This is in general the meaning of fable.

"What is the Lafontenovskoy fable" The Fox and the Grapes "morality?The poet makes fun inherent in his opinion, the Normans and the Gascon pride and arrogance.This instructive essay differs from the previous parable and fable, The Fox and the Grapes which hint at universal human flaws and do not indicate a national shortcomings.
