Two Frogs lived together in a marsh. But one hot summer the marsh dried up, and they left it to look for another place to live in: for frogs like damp places if they can get them. By and by they came to a deep well, and one of them looked down into it, and said to the other, “This looks a nice cool place: let us jump in and settle here.” But the other, who had a wiser head on his shoulders, replied, “Not so fast, my friend: supposing this well dried up like the marsh, how should we get out again?”
Think twice before you act.
两只青蛙住在一片沼泽中。一个炎热的夏季,沼泽干涸了,于是青蛙便离开那里,想寻找另一个地方生活,因为青蛙喜欢潮湿的地方。最后,他们来到了一口深井边,其中一个向井内看,对另一个说:“这看上去是个又漂亮又凉快的地方,咱们跳进去住在这里吧。”但是另一只青蛙更聪明一些,他回答说:“不要那么匆忙,我的朋友,想想如果这口井也像沼泽一样干涸了,我们该怎么出来呢?”
训诫:三思而后行。
