I am interested in either focusing on a fable or parable. A parable is an allegorical piece that emphasizes human qualities primarily portrayed by human characters themselves in order to convey a meaningful lesson. In contrast, even though the purpose of a fable is to acknowledge a moral, the author relies on personifying animals as the characters. A fable is a fictional piece.
I think I would focus on one of Aesop's Fables called, "The Fox and the Grapes." The overall moral was that we have the propensity to develop an adamant justification over why we choose to not want something, while in the actuality, we are unable to get something in the first place. For instance, the voracious fox's numerous attempts in trying to procure the grapes from the vines, were futile. This led him to believe that the grapes were too sour to devour. I find it interesting on how we are expected to logically search for the underlying moral or lesson through the actions of animals in fables.
