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 !
