Well, in many English fable stories, like 'The Ant and the Grasshopper', the moral is about hard work and preparation.

From 'The Ant and the Grasshopper', we learn the importance of hard work and preparation. The ant worked hard all summer to store food for winter, while the grasshopper just played.

Well, in 'The Fox and the Grapes', the fox can't reach the grapes so he says they are sour. The moral here is about sour grapes attitude, that is, when we can't have something, we tend to belittle it. It's a lesson about our self - justification when faced with failure or envy.

A common moral in English fairy tales is the victory of good over evil. In 'The Little Red Riding Hood', the hunter comes and saves both the girl and her grandma from the wolf.
