"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 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 bit 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?" he asked. "Oh, much bigger than 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 then he said, "I'm sure the Ox is not as big as this." But at that moment he burst. MORAL : Self-conceit may lead to self-destruction. Reflection : People now are very conscious about their physical appearances especially girls and women. Like in their faces, because they are not contented they put creams (chemical) that sometimes causes skin burn and allergies. We should be contented of what we are today and accept what God had provided and given to us. |
