This morality tells us to be proactive and broaden our horizons, instead of being complacent and short-sighted like a frog in a well.

Doesn't the atom know about the well? The tortoise in the East China Sea said, "I am very happy! Out of the jumping beam, on the shaft, into the rest of the cliff; If you get into the water, you will hold your arms and your hands, but the mud is not enough to destroy your feet. And gnats, crabs, tadpoles, I can't do it! In addition, it is also very important that my husband is good at a ditch of water, but he is willing to cross the well. Does Master Xi come to see it from time to time? " The tortoise in the East China Sea hasn't got his left foot in yet, and his right knee is embarrassed. So he wandered around and said to the sea, "Fuhai, a thousand miles away is not enough to hold it up, and a thousand miles high is not enough to be extremely deep." At that time, ten years and nine years, water benefits; During the soup season, there was seven droughts in eight years, and the cliff did not add damage. The East China Sea is not long, and it is also a great pleasure not to be advanced and retreated by many people!
In an abandoned well, there lived a frog. One day, the frog met a big turtle from the East China Sea by the well. The frog proudly boasted to the tortoise, "Look, how comfortable I am living here!" " If I want to be happy, I will jump and play by the well. When I am tired, I will rest in the cave by the well. Sometimes I will soak comfortably in the water, and sometimes I will walk happily in the mud. Look at those bugs, crabs and tadpoles next to you. Who can compare with me? How free I am to occupy this abandoned well by myself! Why doesn't Mr. Wang often go to the well to watch and play? "
After listening to the frog, the tortoise wants to look in the well. However, before his left foot fully penetrated, his right foot tripped over the well site. It had to take a step back and tell the frog about the sea it saw: "Have you seen the sea? The vastness of the sea, more than a thousand miles; The ocean is over 1000 feet deep. There were floods in nine of the ten years in ancient times, but the sea water did not increase; There were seven years of drought in eight years, but the sea water did not decrease. The sea is not affected by drought and flood, and living in the vast sea is the real happiness. "
