Caveat: 목마른 송아지 우물 들여다 보듯

I found this aphorism in my aphorism book.

목마른 송아지 우물 들여다 보듯
mok.ma.reun song.a.ji u.mul deul.yeo.da.bo.deut
thirsty-PPART calf well lookinto-LIKE
[It is] like a calf looking into a well.

The book says this means something like “sour grapes.” I could see that – seeing something that he can’t get, perhaps the calf is annoyed.
[daily log: walking, 7.5km]
