Two frogs lived together in a marsh. One hot summer the marsh dried up, so they had to leave it and look for another place.  

They soon found a deep well. 

One of them looked down and said to the other, "This is a nice cool place. Let's jump in and settle down here." 

The other frog was much wiser. He replied, "Don't be so fast, my friend. If this well dries up like the marsh, how should we get out again?"

 　　两只青蛙住在沼泽里。在一个炎热的夏季，沼泽干涸了，因此他们不得不离开去寻找新的湿地。 

 　　他们很快发现一口深井。 

 　　其中一只向下看了看对另一只说：“这是个凉爽的好地方，就住这里吧。” 

 　　而另一只较明智，它说：“别着急，朋友，如果这口井也干了的话，我们怎么出来呢？”
