The Frog in the Shallow Well(井底之蛙)Have you heard of the frog that lived in ashallow well?It said to a turtle that lived in the East Sea,"I am so happy!When I go out,I jump about on the railing beside themouth of the well.When I come home,I rest in the holes on the broken wall ofthe well.If I jump into the water,it comes up to my armpits and holds up mycheeks.If I walk in the mud,it covers up my feet.I look around at thewriggly worms,crabs and tadpoles,and none of them can compare with me.I amlord of this trough of water and I stand up tall in this shallow well.I’mhappy.My dear sir,why don"t you come over and look around myplace?"Before the turtle from the East Seacould get its left foot in the well,its right knee got stuck.It hesitated andretreated.The turtle told the frog about the East Sea."Even a distance of a thousand licannot give you an idea of the sea"s width; even a height of a thousandren cannot give you an idea of its depth.In the time of King Yu of the Xia dynasty,there were floods nine years out of ten,but the waters in the sea did notincrease.In the time of King Tang of the Shang dynasty there were droughtsseven years out of eight,but the waters in the sea did not decrease.The seadoes not change with the passage of time and its level does not rise or fallaccording to the amount of rain that falls.The greatest happiness is to livein the East Sea."After listening to these words,the frog ofthe shallow well was shocked into realization of his own insignificance andbecame very ill at ease.
