Two Frogs
Aesop Fable: Two Frogs
Two frogs were neighbors. One inhabited a deep pond, far
removed from public view; the other lived in a gully containing
little water, and traversed by a country road.
The
Frog that lived in the pond warned his friend to change his
residence and entreated him to come and live with him,
saying that he would enjoy greater safety from danger and
more abundant food. The other refused, saying that he felt
it so very hard to leave a place to which he had become
accustomed. A few days afterwards a heavy wagon passed
through the gully and crushed him to death under its
wheels.
A willful man will have his way to his own hurt.
