When you go out of the well, you jump on the dry well; when you enter the cliff where you are resting, you hold your arms when you go to the water; when you step into the mud, you do not have enough feet to destroy your tarsus. Return crab and tadpole, Mo Wu can if also! And I'm good at the water of a ravine, and the joy of crossing a well. Does Master Xi come to watch from time to time? "The turtle in the East China Sea has not entered on its left foot, but on its right knee. So he hesitated and told the sea: "a man is far away, not enough to lift it; a man's height is not enough to be extremely deep. In Yu's time, nine years of ten years of ten years of ten years of ten years of ten years of ten years of ten years of nine years of ten years of ten years of ten years of ten years of ten years of ten years of ten years of ten years of ten years of ten years of ten years of ten years of ten years of ten years of ten years of ten years of ten years of.

translation

A frog living in a shallow well boasted to the turtle from the East China Sea: "look, how happy I am to live here! Sometimes when I am happy, I jump around the well fence for a while; when I am tired, I go back to the well and lie down in the brick hole of the well wall to have a rest; either I just show my head and mouth and soak myself in the water quietly, or I walk in the mud without feet deep; then I look back at the larvae, crabs and tadpoles. No one can match me! Moreover, I have reached the summit of monopolizing the water and enjoying the happiness of the shallow well. Why don't you come here often? " After listening to the frog, the turtle really wanted to go in and have a look, but before its left foot stepped in, its right leg was stuck in the well fence. So he quickly took back his legs, and then told the frog about the sea and said, "have you ever seen the sea? The sea, a thousand miles away, can't describe its vastness; eight hundred feet high, can't describe its depth. In the days of Xia Yu, floods occurred in nine out of ten years. However, the sea water did not increase as a result. In Shangtang, there were seven droughts in eight years, but the coast did not decrease as a result. You see, the sea water does not change with the length of time, nor does it increase or decrease with the amount of rainfall. Living in such a big sea is the real happiness After hearing this, the frog in shallow well was stunned and felt that he was too small.
