A Frog
There was a frog living in a narrow well. He never went out of the well but he lived a happy life under the well. In his opinion, the sky is just as big as the mouth of the well. 


One day, a crow came to the well and saw the frog. The frog asked: “Where are you from?” Then the crow said: “I come from far away, and I have flown more than one hundred li. Now I am so tired and thirsty.” 


“Really? Are you kidding me? The sky is only as big as the mouth of the well. How can you fly over one hundred li?” 


The frog was very surprised and said. The crow heard that and laughed: “Exactly! The sky is endless. But you always stay in the well, so you don’t know how big the sky is.” 


However the frog still didn’t believe in the crow. The crow said: “You can come out of the well and have a look by yourself!” In the end, the frog jumped out of the well and he was really stunned by the size of the sky! He was ashamed and said: “I am just a frog under the well!” 


故事梗概


从前有只青蛙，他一直生活在狭小的的井下。尽管他从未出去到井的外面，但他依旧生活得十分开心。在这只青蛙眼中，天空就是井口那么大。


一天，一只乌鸦飞来，落在井沿上。 青蛙问乌鸦：“你从哪儿飞来呀？” 乌鸦回答道：“我从很远的地方飞来，已经在天空中飞了一百多里，现在又累又渴，想找点水喝。” 青蛙听了，不以为然，笑道：“朋友,别说大话了！天不过井口那么大，还用飞那么远吗?” 乌鸦说道：“你弄错了，天无边无际，大得很哪！” 青蛙笑了，说：“我天天坐在井里，一抬头就看见天。我不会弄错的.” 小鸟也笑了，说：”朋友，你是弄错了。不相信，你跳出井口来看一看吧。”
