The frog whose belly burst

One day, a baby frog was playing in a field when all of a sudden he saw an Ox. 

When the baby frog returned, he went to his father and said, “Daddy, I saw a terrible monster. He is as big as the mountain. He has horns on his head and he stands on four feet.” The father frog answered, “My son! It’s an ox who stays on the farm!”. 

“I have never seen such a terrible monster before,” said the baby frog. “Ha Ha Ha! It is not so big. It’s just a little bigger than me,” said daddy frog. The daddy frog took a deep breath and puffed up his cheeks and asked, “Was the ox as big as this?” 

The baby frog shook his head and said, “Much bigger than that.” The daddy frog breathe in air to blow up his belly and again asked, “Was he as big as this?” 

“No! No! Much bigger!”The father frog took in more air and not only his belly but also his whole body grew much bigger. “Was he as big as this son?” 

The son replied, “No! Much bigger than that!” .In order to make his body larger than the ox and show it off, the daddy frog took in as much air as he could using all his energy. 

“Probably the ox was not as big,” he stammered. Bang! His belly burst before he could finish his statement. 

“Oh, my stomach! My poor stomach! ” the father frog started crying in pain. From this story we learn that we should not show off.
