It said to the turtle of the Eastern Sea, &#8220;I am so happy! I jump about the railings of the well, rest at the crack on the bricks; when I dive into the water, they support my arms and chin; when I scramble in the mud, they bury my feet and toes. I interact with crabs and play with minnows; nobody can compare to me. Furthermore, I dominate the water in this well, and enjoy the joy of being in the well. Isn\u2019t it wonderful? Why don\u2019t you come down and have a look?\u201d The turtle of the Eastern Sea tried to get in the well, but before his left leg could even enter, his right knee was already stuck. So, it circled around and went back, and told the sea, \u201cA thousand miles cannot describe its vastness; a thousand fathoms cannot measure its depth. In the time of Yu, there were floods nine out of ten years, yet the sea did not increase; in the time of Tang, there were droughts seven out of eight years, yet the cliffs did not decrease. The sea does not change with the passing of time or the amount of water it contains, this is the great joy of the Eastern Sea.\u201d When the frog in the well heard this, it was astonished and could not find words to reply.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>donotdestroy: The frog of the well \u201cHave you not heard &hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[12749],"tags":[707,4842,9604,705,708,9603,4717,3,4585,9602],"class_list":["post-10122","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-tumblr","tag-ego","tag-ignorance","tag-limited-perspective","tag-mind","tag-narcissism","tag-narrow-mindedness","tag-perspective","tag-quote-of-the-day","tag-self-centered","tag-the-frog-of-the-well"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
