The Ox and the Frog

The Ox and the Frog

An Aesop's Fable
An Ox, drinking at a pool, trod on a brood of youthful frogs, and smashed one of them to death. The mother, coming up and missing one of her children, asked of his siblings what had happened to him. "He is dead, dear mother; for a little while ago an extremely tremendous brute with four extraordinary feet went to the pool, and pulverized him to death with his cloven heel." The Frog, puffing herself out, asked, "If the mammoth was as large as that in size." "Stop, mother, to puff yourself out," said her child, "and don't be irate; for you would, I guarantee you, sooner burst than effectively mirror the giganticness of that creature."

Lesson of Aesop's Fable: Impossible things we can't would like to accomplish, and it is of no utilization to attempt.
