1, Fox and Grape: This is a legend in ancient Greece. The fox saw a bunch of ripe grapes and wanted to eat them, but he couldn't reach them. So it said, "This grape is sour, and I don't want to eat it at all." This story implies something that cannot be obtained, and people tend to belittle its value.

2. Cunning fox and lion: This is an ancient Greek fable. A fox challenged the lion to become king. In their competition, the fox outwitted the lion. However, the lion was not directly defeated. It realized the fox's cunning, so it didn't admit its victory.

3. Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio Fox: This is a story in China's ancient novel Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio. The fox turned into a beautiful woman and married a scholar. But after the scholar found out the truth, he was killed by the fox. This story implies the greed and cunning of human nature.

Smith: This is an old idiom story in China. A fox posed as a tiger and threatened other animals in the forest. However, when the true identity of the fox was revealed, it was laughed at and driven away by the animals. This idiom is now used to describe those who bully others by relying on power.

This is a story about love and sacrifice. A golden fox fell in love with human beings and gave his life to save the trapped human prince. This story expresses the power of love and the meaning of sacrifice.
