The Frog in the Shallow Well（井底之蛙）
Have you heard of the frog that lived in a
shallow 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 the
mouth of the well.When I come home,I rest in the holes on the broken wall of
the well.If I jump into the water,it comes up to my armpits and holds up my
cheeks.If I walk in the mud,it covers up my feet.I look around at the
wriggly worms,crabs and tadpoles,and none of them can compare with me.I am
lord of this trough of water and I stand up tall in this shallow well.I’m
happy.My dear sir,why don"t you come over and look around my
place?"
Before the turtle from the East Sea
could get its left foot in the well,its right knee got stuck.It hesitated and
retreated.The turtle told the frog about the East Sea.
"Even a distance of a thousand li
cannot give you an idea of the sea"s width; even a height of a thousand
ren 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 not
increase.In the time of King Tang of the Shang dynasty there were droughts
seven years out of eight,but the waters in the sea did not decrease.The sea
does not change with the passage of time and its level does not rise or fall
according to the amount of rain that falls.The greatest happiness is to live
in the East Sea."
After listening to these words,the frog of
the shallow well was shocked into realization of his own insignificance andbecame very ill at ease.
