The frog and the Ox
"Oh Father", said a little Frog to the big one sitting by the side of a pool.
"I have seen such a terrible monster!.It was as big as a mountain,with horns on its head, and a long tail, and it had hoofs divided in two"
"Tush, child, tush", said the old Frog."that was only Farmer White's Ox. It isn't so big either, he may be a little taller than I, but I could easily make myself quite as broad, just you see" So he blew himself out, and blew himself out, and blew himself out."Was he as big as that?" asked he.
"O, much bigger that that," said the young Frog
Again the old one blew himself out, and asked the young one if the Ox was as big as that.
"Bigger, father, bigger," was the reply
So the Frog took a deep breath, and blew and blew and blew, and swelled and swelled and swelled. And then he said:"I'm sure the Ox is not as big as me. But at this moment he burst.
"Self-concit may lead to self-destruction".
