World of Frogs - Tibet (or why frogs should not look at cows)



Once a city frog visited the countryside.
 He was amazed at the many kinds of animals roaming freely (or freely-ish).

 And he was especially impressed with the imposing size of the cow.

When he came across his country cousin who lived inside a deep, dark well, he said, "You cannot imagine the size of the animal I saw today. "

His cousin smiled and asked, "How big an animal was it?"

The city frog puffed out his chest saying, "It was thi-i-i-i-is big!"

"How big? asked the country frog .

"This big, said the other as he puffed himself up even more.

"No-o-oh ! exclaimed the country frog. "Are you sure?"

And the city frog, trying to impress his country cousin even in his own familiar territory, puffed himself up more and more until he finally exploded !
