Determining the Moral of Fables

The video begins with an introduction to ESOP, an ancient Greek writer known for his fables that teach moral lessons. The scene shifts to a modern-day scenario where Diana discusses her desire for a designer bag with her father, who is wearing a toga. Her father shares the fable of 'The Fox and the Grapes' to illustrate a moral lesson about wanting things beyond one's reach. Diana realizes the moral of the story, which is not to pretend to dislike something just because it's unattainable. The video concludes with a humorous twist as her father offers to buy her grapes instead of the bag.
