The frog in the well bottom.(philosophical tale 3)



There was once a frog that lived in a well. She was born and brought up there . It was a tiny frog. One day , another frog who had lived at the seaside came to fall into this pit . The inhabitant of the well asked the newcomer .

 - " Where are you from ? "

 - "I come from the sea," replied the other .

 - " The sea ? Is she tall ? "

 - "Oh ! Yes I do. She is very tall. "Said the visitor.

 - " Would it therefore as big as my well? "

 - " How can you , my dear, compare the sea with your own well ? "

 - " No. There can be nothing greater than my well .

    " This sprightly then ment and must be expelled from here. "
 The same is true of all men in the narrow minds : Sitting at the bottom of their small wells , they imagine that the world can not be greater than them !
