Idiom story four stick figures sitting in a well watching the sky.
In an abandoned well, there lived a frog. One day, the frog met a big turtle from the East China Sea by the well. The frog proudly boasted to the tortoise, "Look, how comfortable I am living here!" " If I want to be happy, I will jump and play by the well. When I am tired, I will rest in the cave by the well. Sometimes I will soak comfortably in the water, and sometimes I will walk happily in the mud. Look at those bugs, crabs and tadpoles next to you. Who can compare with me? How free I am to occupy this abandoned well by myself! Why doesn't Mr. Wang often go to the well to watch and play? After listening to the frog, the tortoise wants to look in the well.

However, before his left foot fully penetrated, his right foot tripped over the well site. It had to take a step back and tell the frog about the sea it saw: "Have you seen the sea? The vastness of the sea, more than a thousand miles; The ocean is over 1000 feet deep.

There were floods in nine of the ten years in ancient times, but the sea water did not increase; There were seven years of drought in eight years, but the sea water did not decrease. The sea is not affected by drought and flood, and living in the vast sea is the real happiness.
