fable fox and grapes read text
Hungry godmother Fox climbed into the garden;
In it, the grapes were reddened.
The gossip's eyes and teeth flared up;
And brushes juicy, like yachts, burn;
Only trouble is, they hang high:
Whence and how she comes to them,
Though the eye sees
Yes, the tooth is numb.
Breaking through the whole hour in vain,
She went and said with annoyance: “Well!
Looks like he's good
Yes, green - no ripe berries:
You'll get the hang of it right away."

Analysis of the fable Fox and grapes, heroes of the fable
About the fable
The remarkable satirist, historian, book lover Ivan Andreevich Krylov created the fable "The Crow and the Grapes" at the dawn of his biographical and creative maturity. This interesting and instructive fable can be found and read in one of the nine collections of fables by the famous fabulist, which appeared one after another during his lifetime.
As the basis of his poetic fable, Krylov took the prose story of the ancient Greek poet Aesop about a greedy and dependent fox who sees bunches of grapes in the garden and tries to jump up to them and eat them. But, alas, the hurried fox does not succeed. Russian fabulist diversified Aesop's instructive story harmonious style, sharp humor, conciseness and accuracy of the language.
fable lesson
"The Fox and the Grapes", like all Krylov's fables, teaches a lesson. A lesson in strength, endurance, overcoming laziness and striving for a goal. The main character of the fox is devoid of these qualities. She succumbs to the difficulty, justifying her insolvency and weakness by external causes and circumstances. She does not judge herself, "red and good" - grapes are to blame for everything: they say, it is only not bad at first glance, but in fact it is unripe, green. There is a special breed of people who find it easier to blame others and life itself for their troubles than to try to correct the situation with perseverance, patience, diligence and desire. Our "fox" is a brilliant example of such a worthless breed.
The fable "The Fox and the Grapes" is easy to read and remember. It does not contain heavy syntactic constructions that would be incomprehensible. Initially, the fable was intended for a wide range of readers, and therefore its style is simple, light and at the same time unique. Krylov compares juicy brushes with a yacht, the fox's eyes "flared up", and even the expressions about the eye, the tooth and the teeth on edge have become masterpieces in the phraseological world. Moreover, Krylov the comedian is bright and memorable here. It would be nice if the eyes flared up, but here are the teeth ... It becomes clear to everyone that the fox is hungry and rushes about in anticipation of a delicious meal. The phrase "brushes reddened" is also curious. This means that the grapes are ripe, reddened. And here is the antithesis - there is no mature berry. The fox also acts as a controversial "lady". The obsolete word does not spoil the fable at all, but makes it more popular.
Interestingly, Krylov shows the short-term efforts of the fox: after an hour of futile efforts, her patience bursts, and we see an angry, annoyed loser. The fable is, of course, artistically and ideologically perfect. This is an example of talent, intelligence and love for the reader.

Reread Aesop's fable, and then Krylov's fable. Which fable is more interesting for you to read: written in prose or in verse? Which of the fables helps you better visualize grape clusters? A appearance foxes and their behavior Where is the speech of the fox more expressive?
The fables tell the same story. In Aesop's fable, the narrative is very short, only a statement of facts: we learn that the Fox saw "a vine with hanging bunches", "wanted to get to them, but could not." From Krylov’s text, one can imagine how ripe and juicy the grapes were (“the grapes were reddened by the grapes”, “the brushes are juicy, like the yakhonts are burning”). Krylov describes the reaction of the fox to ripe grapes (“The gossip’s eyes and teeth flared up”) and how she tries to get the grapes (“why and how does she not go to them”, “having made her way in vain for an hour”) and her disappointment (“went and speaks with annoyance ... "). In Aesop's fable, the Fox talks about the berries she couldn't get: "They're still green." In Krylov's fable, the Fox speaks of grapes in more detail and more expressively: “Well, well! At a glance, it is good, but green - there is no ripe berry. She even describes the taste of sour, unripe grapes (“you’ll set your teeth on edge right away”), as if telling herself to give up trying it.

Can it serve as a moral? Return to Aesop's fable "The Fox and the Grapes" once again. Is the moral of Aesop's fable applicable to I. Krylov's fable?
In the text of Krylov's fable there is a proverb: "The eye sees, but the tooth is numb." The meaning of this proverb is that sometimes a person finds himself in a situation where the goal is close, but for various reasons he cannot achieve it.
The moral of Aesop's fable is, of course, applicable to Krylov's fable. But you can pay attention to the tone in which both fables are told. Aesop, talking about the Fox, is extremely serious and draws a very serious moralizing conclusion from his fable. Krylov, on the other hand, tells the same story wittily and jokingly, calls the Fox either godmother or gossip, creates an atmosphere of lively colloquial speech, putting a whole worldly reasoning into the mouth of the Fox. Therefore, such a serious morality, as in Aesop's fable, does not at all correspond to the tone of Krylov's narration.

What details indicate that the fox is in the garden, near human habitation? Consider the figurine and muzzle of the fox. How can you understand that the grapes hang very high? Does the posture of the fox help to understand that she is trying to get close to the grapes from different directions?
With the thinnest lines, the artist outlines the outline of the house, as well as, apparently, a wheelbarrow and some tools for working in the garden: an atmosphere is created of the proximity of human habitation and, therefore, danger to the Fox. The body of the Fox is curved: it does not just stand on its hind legs, it leans back slightly and at the same time lifts and slightly tilts its muzzle in order to better see the grapes hanging high. With one front paw, the Fox rests on the trunk of a tree, and the other is lowered like a dog. The expression of the muzzle is not visible, an annoying grimace is only slightly guessed, but the pose is so expressive that we understand: the Fox is disappointed, now she will fall on her front paws and run into the forest.

Fable Fox and grapes - analysis
The essence of the fable is that the gossip - the fox decided to feast on delicious grapes. Unfortunately, the bunches hung too high for the cheat to reach them. And so, and so she tried to reach out, but nothing came of it. Then, instead of coming up with something or simply leaving with nothing, the angry fox gave out a whole worldly reasoning. The gossip deceived herself, saying that the grapes were not ripe at all.
Ivan Andreevich Krylov reworked fables already written in antiquity. However, he did it extremely masterly, with a certain sarcasm inherent in fables. So it was with his famous translation of the fable "The Fox and the Grapes" (1808), which is closely related to La Fontaine's original of the same name. Let the fable be short, but the truthful meaning fits in it, and the phrase “Though the eye sees, but the tooth is dumb” has become a real catch phrase.
Once, a hungry Fox (Krylov himself picked up a synonym for "godfather") climbed into someone else's garden, and large and juicy bunches of grapes hung there. The fox would not be a fox if she didn’t immediately want to try the ripe fruit, and she wanted to get at least a berry so much that not only her eyes, but even her teeth “flared up” (In this case, Ivan Andreevich uses interesting verb, acting in the context as a designation strong desire). No matter how “yakhonty” the berries were, they hung, as luck would have it, high: the fox will come to them this way and that, but at least he sees the eye, but the tooth is numb.
The gossip beat for an hour, jumped, but was left with nothing. The fox walked away from the garden and decided that the grapes were probably not so ripe. It looks good, but green, you can’t even see ripe berries. And if she still managed to try, she would immediately set her teeth on edge (viscosity in her mouth).
Moral of the fable
As in any other work of this type, there is a moral here, and it is contained not in the proverb “even though the eye sees, but the tooth is dumb”, but in the very last lines that talk about the wrong conclusion of the fox. This means that when we try to achieve something, achieve our goal, we do not always come out of the situation as winners, and after that we complain and get angry not at ourselves, not at our stupidity, laziness and insolvency, but at circumstances or some or other factors. Indeed, Krylov accurately noticed that it is peculiar to everyone, and after unsuccessful attempts, we begin to make excuses, to say that it didn’t hurt, and we wanted to, instead of continuing to fight, changing tactics. The moral of the fable can be reflected in another proverb: "Look in yourself, not in the village."
Thanks to the simple language that the author writes, the reader clearly understands the meaning of this work. It can be said that the fable is based on a certain opposition, that is, at first the fox admired the fruits, and then began to look for minuses in them, to justify her failure.
The meaning of the proverb
Accurate morals, interesting plot and artistic means expressiveness is not all that a fable is rich in. “Though the eye sees, but the tooth is dumb” - the expression is not only a proverb, but also the second name of the whole work.
It denotes what seems close, reachable, but it is difficult and sometimes even impossible to get. Such an expression is equivalent to the designation of a goal, a dream.
I.A. Krylov proved that a work does not have to take up several volumes in order to reflect the essence of human character. The proverb “Though the eye sees, but the tooth is dumb” and the moral of the fable convey the whole essence of human psychology.
