Aesop | Greece
The Two Frogs
Two frogs search for a new home when their pond dries up, and they consider living in a well but realize it's too risky.
Once upon a time, in a small village, two frogs were best friends. They lived together in a pond near the edge of the village. They enjoyed catching flies, swimming in the water, and soaking up the sun. They had a peaceful life.
One very hot summer day, their pond began to dry up because of the sun. The frogs knew they needed a new home to live in if they wanted to survive. So, they left the pond and went to find a new home.
The two friends hopped through the countryside, searching for a good pond. After a while, they found a deep well. One of the frogs said, "This well looks like a perfect place for us to live. The water is so cool and deep; we can swim a lot."
The other frog wasn't sure about living in the well. He said, "The water looks good, but think about it. If the water ever dries up, we will be stuck at the bottom with no way out."
The first frog thought about what his friend said and realized that he was right. They decided to look for a safer place to live. They continued on their journey to find a new home.
