1. "The Frog and the Ox" tells us that people should not overestimate their abilities, be self-aware, and not do things beyond their capabilities. We must proceed from reality, seek truth from facts, and often introspect ourselves in order to have a clear understanding of ourselves. The story of "The Frog and the Ox" also tells us not to risk doing things beyond our capabilities because of external things such as vanity and face.
2. Fable:
There was a jealous little frog who saw a big bull grazing by the river, and he determined to do his best to fight with his body. The burly bull is bigger than the ox. You see, it exerts all its strength and keeps inflating to swell its belly.
"Hey! Dear friend, tell me, am I about the same size as that cow?" it asked its companion.
“No, friend, it’s still far away!”
“Look carefully, I can hold my breath now. Have I puffed up more?”
“I can’t see it.”
“So, what about now!”
“It’s still the same, no change.”
< p>This whimsical frog cannot compare with the big bull. It had wild dreams and tried to inflate. Because of the force, its stomach burst and it died!Everyone has desires. Desires are like the belly of a frog. The more desires there are, the bigger the belly becomes. When desires are no longer desires, they go to extremes and the belly cannot bear imagination. In the extreme, it breaks.
