JAI MAA KAALI
DOOFUS FROG
------------------------
Once a big black frog resided in a well a little way from the sea.He had seen the light of the earth there and had never,even for a single day,stepped out of the well.The world outside was all Greek and Latin to him,but he always blew his own trumpet and considered himself a most intelligent and sagacious fellow. He grew fat on the worms and insects that infested the well.
One day while he was enjoying a siesta,a huge frog from the sea flumped down into the well with a big splash.He was jolted out of his slumber and was greatly astonished to see a new frog.Though he was a tad apprehensive,yet he asked in a grave voice,'Hallo there,who're you?'
'I am a stranger',responded the frog from the sea.
'I know you are!You had better tell me what brought you here?'
'Well,pal,I tumbled down into your well by chance.But of course I'm happy to meet you.'
Though our frog was satisfied with the answer,yet he was inquisitive enough to know more about the trespasser.
'Where do you hail from?'
'I am from the sea'.
'The sea?What is that?Is it as big as my well?'he asked as he leapt from one side to the other.
'My friend',croaked the frog from the sea,'It's thousands and thousands of times bigger than your sea.'
'NO, no,there can be nothing bigger than my well.You appear to be a liar.I don't believe you.'
'That's because you have never seen the sea.Come with me.I will show you the sea and then you'll know the truth.'
'No, no, I won't go with you.I am not a ninny to be led to the garden path by your cunningness.I fully understand that your intention is to occupy my well by getting me out of the well.You are a scalawag.Now get off at once'.
The frog from the sea saw it was no use arguing with this bloody nincompoop.So he quit the place.
Our bull-headed frog cachinnated loudly and chortled,'HA!Ha!he thought he would befool me.I am,cock sure,nothing can be bigger than my well.'
And once again he leaped from one side to the other merrily.
