There was once a frog who made his home in a shallow well. One day he met a turtle from the East Sea.
"I`m extremely happy!" the frog told the turtle. "When on the ground, I would leap up and down the railing of the well. When I`m tired, I would rest on the broken bricks."
"Back in the water , I would swim with only my head above the surface. When I walk in the mud, I would bury my feet. I look back at the worms, crabs, and tadpoles who share my well. They can`t be as happy as I am."
"The pool of water belongs to me because the well is mine. This is the greatest pleasure!" the frog said proudly. "You should come visit me some time!"
The turtle went with the frog to the shallow well. Lifting his right foot, he tried to enter the well. But it got stuck even before he could extend his left one, so he leisurely retreated.
Rather amused, the turtle said, "I can`t tell you how vast the East Sea is, for it is beyond measure. However, flood doesn`t increase its depth the least bit, and drought can`t make it lose an inch. Its depth does not change with time, nor does it chenge with the amount of rainfall. This is its greatest pleasure!"
On hearing the turtle, the frog was dumbfounded.
從前有隻青蛙，在淺井底居住。一天，牠遇見一隻從東海來的大鯊。
井蛙對大鯊說：「我真是樂透了！高興時，便在井欄上跳躍。疲倦時，就躺在破磚上休息。回到水裏，我只是露出我的頭游泳。跳到泥裏，我則埋沒我的雙腿。我回頭看看井裡的赤蟲、蟹和蝌蚪。他們可不及我快樂呢！井水是我，因為著口井屬於我，這就是最大的喜樂啊！你有空不妨來探望我。」
大鯊聽了，就跟著井蛙入景哩，怎知左腳還未伸進去，右腳已經辦住了，於是便從容地退了出來。
大鯊給逗樂了，便對青蛙說：「東海的大，我無法給你描，因為那是無法測量的。水災既不能增加它的深度，旱災也不能減少它一吋。它的深度，是不會因時間的長短，或兩量的多少而有所改變。這就是東海最大的喜樂啊！」
井蛙聽了，驚訝的呆一邊。

我想像的國中生活
在經過一年的磨鍊，其實國中生活和國小沒兩樣，只是考試和功課變多，分數變低而已。但是，每位父母都「望子成龍，望女成鳳」想想兩年後的基本學力測驗，考上第一志願的可能有多大？每個人都想要進第一志願，大家多拼哪！在國小，總是認為國中很辛苦，但是，當你瞭解國中的樂趣，你還會嫌累嗎？其實，累不累，是自己想的。覺得累，就苦中作樂吧。很多東西，學起來並不難，還很好玩。像數學，看起來似乎很難，其實根本是在玩遊戲，當自己的想法變了，做法也會跟著改變。國中，和現實社會沒兩樣，既困難重重，又辛苦，也體會的到現實的殘酷。而在國中，有各種想法、意見、個性的人，要學會和他人相處，似乎有點困難。但相處一段時間後，你會發現大家的優點，也會看到很多人的缺點，大家都有優點，當你看見後，你就會覺得，他其實不壞。國小，只有幾科，上國中後，馬上增了好幾科，有些有趣、有些困難，但那些都是值得學習的。和越來越多人競爭，也和越來越多人相處，朋友也漸漸變多，可以交很多志同道合的朋友，多快樂啊！
