      The Two Frogs


There were Two Frogs who were neighbors of each other.

 One lived in a deep pond, far removed from public view; the other lived in a ravine containing little water, and traversed by a country road.

The Frog that lived in the pond warned his friend to change his residence and invited him to come and live with him, saying that he would enjoy greater safety from danger and more amount food.

The other refused, saying that he felt it so very hard to leave a place to which he had become familiar.

A few days afterwards a heavy wagon passed through the gully and crushed him to death under its wheels.

Moral: A willful man will have his way to his own hurt.
