Idiom Story: Frog at the Bottom of the Well 14 Idiom Stories: Frog at the Bottom of the Well 1
The story of Frog at the Bottom of the Well is well known all over the world, mainly about an ignorant frog who lives at the bottom of the well all day and doesn't know the outside world, which is a metaphor for people with short knowledge and narrow thinking.
When I read this story, I was already in Grade One, and I couldn't help feeling ridiculous for its ignorance. It was not until later that I realized that I had actually been a frog in the well.
once, when I was watching TV, I found a picture of big pits deep in the grass. I said disapprovingly, "hey, aren't these just some coal mines? What's the matter?" Change the channel, I really don't understand, this can also be on TV! " Mom and dad gave me a look at the same time, which was different from usual, but I didn't understand it at that time. They tuned the channel silently. Later, I learned from the book that it was a well-known tiankeng in Sichuan. There, there are 26 continuous sinkholes, the largest diameter of which is about 4 meters, which is bottomless. Now I finally understand why my parents look at me like that.
After that incident, I understand that only by constantly enriching myself with knowledge will I not be eliminated, short-sighted and looked down upon by others. So I will study hard now, look around the world with eagle's eyes and stand on the shoulders of giants. Instead of seeing the tip of the iceberg of the world like a frog in the well, your heart is higher than the sky. In the future, I will study hard. I can't think that it is true to have fur just because I know a little about fur. We must constantly push ourselves, constantly motivate ourselves, and do our best in order to have a foothold in this competitive society. Idiom story: frog in the well 2
A frog living in a shallow well boasted to the giant turtle from the East China Sea, "I am so happy to live here! When you are happy, jump out of the well, climb onto the railing and jump and play to your heart's content. When you are tired of playing, you go back to the well, hide in the hole in the borehole wall and have a comfortable rest. When I jumped into the water, the well water only submerged my armpits and gently held my chin; The mud has just crossed my feet and is soft and comfortable. Look around at those shrimps, crabs and tadpoles. No one is as happy as me. Besides, I own a well water and enjoy it to my heart's content. This life is really beautiful. Why don't you come in and have a look! "
The giant turtle accepted the invitation of the well frog, and prepared to go to the well to have a look, but its left foot had not stepped in yet, and its right leg had been caught by the railing of the well, so it had to slowly retreat and stand by the well to tell the frog about the wonders of the sea: "How big is the sea? Even using a distance of thousands of miles to describe it can't express its grandeur, and using a mountain as a metaphor can't compare with its depth. In Xia Yu's time, there were nine years of heavy rain in ten years, and the flood caused disasters, and the sea level did not increase at all; When I was in Shang Tang, there were seven years of drought in eight years, and the land was cracked and the coast was not lowered at all. It doesn't change because of the length of time, nor does it increase or decrease because of the amount of rainfall. Living in the East China Sea is really happy! "
The well frog was surprised and didn't speak for a long time. Only then does it know how small the place where it lives is.
Moral:
If people confine themselves to a narrow world for a long time, they will become short-sighted and complacent.

Origin

There lived a frog at the bottom of a well. Although the place was small, it lived happily for a long time. It had no idea how big the world outside the well was, and thought that the bottom of the well was the whole world.
One day, the frog suddenly saw a big turtle on the wellhead, which came from the East China Sea. So the frog chatted with the turtle. Big turtle is surprised that frogs live at the bottom of the well. The frog boasted to him, "Hey, turtle, how nice it is for me to live here! There is blue sky, sunshine, water and soft mud here. How happy I am!
I can jump around freely, and the surroundings are spacious, so I don't have to worry about bumping my head. Tired, I can rest in the cave on the wall. Want to swim, there is enough water for me to soak comfortably in. After enough rest, you can take a walk in the soft mud and walk up and down. Look, those tadpoles and crabs nearby, which one can compare with me? I am very happy here! Why don't you come and have a swim in my world! "
When the big turtle heard the frog's words, he immediately became curious and wanted to have a look at the bottom of the well. But before his left foot reached in, his right foot was stuck by the wellhead, and he was in a dilemma. It had to retreat slowly, stand firm and ask the frog, "Hey, friend, have you seen the sea?" The frog froze. What is the sea? It has never even heard of it.
So the big turtle simply told it about the sea.
Big turtle said, "The sea is vast, far more than thousands of miles; The depth of the sea is more than ten million feet. How can I make you understand? Let's just say that in ancient times, there were floods for many years in a row, and the floods kept flowing into the sea, but the sea water did not increase much; Later, after many years of drought, the ground was cracked by the sun, but the sea water did not decrease much. You said, is it really happy to live in such a sea? "
The frog's eyes widened and he couldn't speak.

The frog immediately opened the chatterbox: today is your luck. I'll let you open your eyes and visit my room. It's a paradise. You have probably never seen such a spacious residence, have you? The turtle probe looked into the well and saw a shallow pool of muddy water covered with green moss at the bottom of the well, and smelled a pungent smell.

In the evening, you can jump on the well field to enjoy the cool; You can sleep in the hole in the borehole wall at night; Soak in the water, let the water soak your armpits, hold your cheeks, and you can swim; Jump into the mud, let the mud cover the instep, bury the four feet, and roll. Those headworms, crabs and tadpoles, which one can compare with me! The frog spits all over the place, and the more he talks, the more proud he is: Look, this pit of water and this well belong to me alone, and I can do whatever I like. This kind of fun can be counted to the top. Brother turtle, don't you want to go in for sightseeing? The sea turtle felt the kindness with insistent kindness, so he climbed to the wellhead, but before his left leg could be fully inserted, his right knee was stuck by well field. The turtle slowly retreated and asked the frog, Have you ever heard of the sea? Frogs wag their heads. Sea turtle said: the sea is boundless and boundless. A thousand miles can't describe its vastness, and a thousand miles can't show its depth.

You see, compared with your dry well and shallow water, which world is more open and which is more fun? The frog listened stupidly, bulging his eyes and keeping his mouth shut for a long time.
