069 The TALE of the TWO FROGS
Two Frogs shared a beautiful road, but lived in very different homes. One enjoyed his days in a spacious, lush Pond, safely tucked away from Humans. The other Frog inhabited a Ditch with a small Stream running through it, close to the heavily traversed Road. The Pond Frog implored his friend, “Come live with me, for there is plenty of food, and we can live long, safe lives here.” But the other Frog refused, as he was already accustomed to his area, disappointing as it was. Sure enough, a few days passed, and the foolish Frog was crushed by a cart passing along the Road.
A stubborn man will have his way to his own demise.
