The Two Frogs
Aesop Fable: The Two Frogs
Two frogs dwelt in the same pool. When the pool dried up
under the summer’s heat, they left it and set out together
for another home.
As they went along they chanced to pass
a deep well, amply supplied with water, and when they saw
it, one of the Frogs said to the other, "Let us descend and
make our abode in this well: it will furnish us with shelter
and food." The other replied with greater caution, "But
suppose the water should fail us. How can we get out again
from so great a depth?’
Do nothing without a regard to the consequences.
