The Two Frogs
            TWO FROGS were neighbors.  One inhabited a deep pond, far removed
            from public view; the other lived in a gully containing little
            water, and traversed by a country road.  The Frog that lived in
            the pond warned his friend to change his residence and entreated
            him to come and live with him, saying that he would enjoy greater
            safety from danger and more abundant food.  The other refused,
            saying that he felt it so very hard to leave a place to which he
            had become accustomed.  A few days afterwards a heavy wagon
            passed through the gully and crushed him to death under its
            wheels.
            A willful man will have his way to his own hurt.
