There once was a frog who lived in a well. This frog had never left his well, and to him it was his entire world. Then one day a frog from the ocean hopped into the well and after exchanging pleasantries the frog from the well asked the frog from the ocean a question: ‘So, where do you live, then?’ The frog from the ocean replied, ‘I live in the ocean.’ ‘The ocean, eh? What’s that?’ The frog from the ocean considered the question before replying: ‘The ocean is a bit like your well but much, much bigger.’ The frog from the well couldn’t believe that anything could be bigger than his well. ‘Bigger than my well? Impossible! Your ocean is probably about a quarter of the size of my well.’ ‘No, no, the ocean is much bigger than your well!’ protested the frog from the ocean. ‘Okay then, about half the size?’ ‘No way! It’s the ocean – it’s huge, it’s vast, it’s immeasurable!’ ‘It’s really that big, is it? Okay then, let’s agree that your ocean must be about the same size as my well?’ In despair the frog from the ocean said, ‘Look, why don’t you come and see the ocean for yourself?’ With indignant confidence the frog from the well replied, ‘Okay then, let’s go!’ And so they both hopped out of the well and down a path that the frog from the well had never dared go. At the end of the path the view opened up to reveal the huge panorama of the nearby ocean. The frog from the ocean smiled and said: ‘See, much bigger than your well!’
