The Frog and the Ox


One afternoon a grand and wonderful ox was on his daily stroll,
when he was noticed by a small haggardly frog. The frog was
too impressed with the great ox, impressed to the point of envy.

"Look at this magnificent ox!" he called to all his friends,

"He's such a grand size for an animal, but he's no greater

than I am if I tried."

The frog started puffing and swelled from his normal size.
"Am I as large as the wonderful ox?" he asked his friends.
"No, no, not near as grand as the ox," they replied.

So, the frog puffed himself up more and more, trying to reach the state of the ox.
"Now? now?" asked the frog.
"No, no. But please, don't try anymore," pleaded his friends.

But the frog continue to puff and swell, larger and larger until he finally burst.

Moral:

Be true to your own character.

Reflection:

All of us are not contented for what we have. Sometimes, we don't appreciate the things God has given us and were still looking for something which is greater and that greater things are not in us. Not knowing that what we have are the things that the other people wants to and what the others had are the things that we also want. So we must came to realize that we are all not complete and all that matter is the appreciation of what we have and being contented for the things God intended for us.
