> fox and the grapes fable, not sure if it's known to most cultures.

That's one of Aesop's fables. I believe it's widely known, at least in all western cultures. The fox can't reach the grapes he desires, so he concludes the grapes were sour and he didn't want them anyway.

The idiom "sour grapes" comes from that story!
