La volpe e l’uva è una favola famosissima, che può dare un insegnamento molto importante: non bisogna disprezzare qualcosa solo perché non lo si può ottenere, come fanno le persone che non ammettono di non riuscire a fare qualcosa.

Questa favola breve scritta in origine da Esopo è arrivata a noi grazie anche a Fedro e a mille versioni successive, questa è la mia versione.
