There is a frog . He lives in a well and he never goes out of it. He thinks that the sky is as big as the mouth of the well.
One day a crow comes to the well. He sees the frog and says,“Frog, let's have a talk.”Then the frog asks,“Where are you from?”“I fly from the sky,”the crow says. The frog feels surprised and says,“The sky is only as big as the mouth of the well. How do you fly from the sky?”
The crow says,“The sky is very big. You always stay in the well, so you don't know how large the world is.”
The frog says,“I don't believe.”But the crow says,“You can come out and have a look by yourself .”
So the frog comes out of the well. He is very surprised. How big the world is!

坐井观天
有一只青蛙住在井底，他从来没有从井里出来过。他以为天空只有井口一样大。
一天，一只乌鸦飞到井边，看见青蛙，对他说：“青蛙，咱们聊聊吧。”青蛙问他：“你从哪里来？”“我从天上来。”青蛙非常惊讶，说：“天空就只有这井口这么大，你怎么从天上飞来的？”
乌鸦说：“天空很大。你一直待在井里，不知道世界有多大。”
青蛙说：“我不相信。”乌鸦说：“你可以出来，亲眼看看嘛。”
于是青蛙来到井外。他万分惊讶，原来世界这么广大啊！
