The frogs and the well青蛙和井
Two frogs lived together in a marsh. One hot summer the marsh dried up, so they had to leave it and look for another place.
两只青蛙住在沼泽里。在一个炎热的夏季,沼泽干涸了,因此他们不得不离开去寻找新的湿地。
They soon found a deep well.
他们很快发现一口深井。
One of them looked down and said to the other, "This is a nice cool place. Let's jump in and settle down here."
其中一只向下看了看对另一只说:“这是个凉爽的好地方,就住这里吧。”
The other frog was much wiser. He replied, "Don’t be so fast, my friend. If this well dries up like the marsh, how should we get out again?"
而另一只较明智,它说:“别着急,朋友,如果这口井也干了的话,我们怎么出来呢?”
寓意
凡事应该首先考虑周到,然后再付诸行动。
