Two
Frogs
Two
frogs were friends. Older Frog lived in a well and Younger Frog
lived in a big lake. One day when they happened to meet, Older Frog
said, “Younger Brother, let’s go to my home today!” and Younger Frog agreed.
When they reached the well where Older Frog lived, Younger Frog felt uncomfortable
because the well didn’t have much water, the water was dirty, and he could not
see the sky. Coming in and out of the well was not easy either. But didn’t
leave quickly because he didn’t want to hurt Older Frog’s feelings.
Younger
Frog was uncomfortable and jumped up and down. Older Frog noticed this and
thought Younger Frog was admiring his home. “how is my home?” he asked.
Younger
Frog smiled and said, “What can I say.?”
Older
Frog proudly said, “The water in my home is the best in the world.”
Younger
Frog replied, “I don’t think so.”
Older
Frog was not happy with this answer, the two frogs began arguing, and finally
Younger Frog said he wanted to leave.
Older
Frog said, “Please take some water from hear.”
“No.
My home has enough water,” said Younger Frog.
“I
want to see your home,” said Older Frog and the two set off for the lake where
Younger Frog lived.
Older
Frog was feeling proud and arrogant. He thought, “When I reach his home, I will
drink all his water. Then he will ask me for my water to drink.”
When
they reached the lake, Younger Frog said, “Dear Older Frog, we are very near my
home.” Older Frog didn’t look out across the vast lake. Instead, he only
noticed some water in front of him. He
stuck his head into the water and began drinking. Althoungh his stomach was
soon full, he had not reduced the size of
Younger Frog’s home. He thought for a moment but then decided to drink
some more. His stomach became bigger and bigger. Suddenly there was a “ping”
sound as his stomach burst and he died.
