The Ox and the Frogs’ Lesson

Once upon a time, little frogs were playing by the pond’s edge.

A cartoon frog sits by a pond, smiling, while five smaller frogs jump and play in the water. There are lily pads, cattails, grass, and pink flowers under a bright blue sky with clouds.

Suddenly, a big bull came to drink water. After sipping, he let out a loud burp!

A cartoon bull stands on grass near a pond with four frogs; one frog is jumping in surprise, while three others are by the water among lily pads and cattails under a blue sky.

The frogs heard the scary sound and got terrified. They dashed to their grandmother frog.

Grandma asked her grandkids, “What happened? Why are you so scared?”

A large frog sits on a lily pad, asking two smaller, frightened frogs, Why are you all running? What happened? Tall grass and cattails are in the background above the pond.

The little frog said, “Grandma, a huge monster came to drink from the pond! Its voice was so loud and frightening!”

Grandma asked, “How big was it?” The tiny frog replied, “Super huge, Grandma!”

Grandma stretched her four legs wide and puffed up her cheeks. “This big?”

The little frog said, “No, Grandma, much bigger than that!”

A large green frog sits on a lily pad in a pond, facing three smaller, surprised-looking frogs on nearby lily pads. Reeds and water plants are in the background under a clear blue sky.

Grandma puffed up even more. “Bigger than this?”

The tiny frog insisted, “No, way bigger!”

Grandma kept puffing herself up bigger and bigger. Finally, her belly burst, and she died.

Moral: Empty pride leads to destruction.
