A
tiny frog lived in a well. He had lived there for a long time.
He
had been born and raised there.
One
day, another frog, who lived in the sea, stopped by.
"Where
are you from?" asked the frog in the well.
"I
come from the ocean", responded the other frog.
"The
ocean, how big is that?" asked the little frog.
"It's
gigantic."
The
frog in the well drew a little circle on the surface of the water. "That
big?"
"Bigger."
The
frog drew a bigger circle. "That big?"
"No,
even bigger."
"Is
it... as big as my well?"
"No,
Much, much bigger. What nonsense to compare the ocean with your well."
"Liar!"
shouted the little frog
and
from now on he didn't want anything to do with the other frog.
