Frog of a well

There was a very big well in a village. A frog (frog-1) lived inside that well. He used to feel very proud of his well, as it was the biggest well in whole village. All the frogs from nearby wells used to come to meet him regularly. All those frogs also praised the spacious big well. Even during famines in village, that particular well did not dry. The frog-1 had a firm belief that he is living in the best possible location of the whole universe!!!!

One day, another frog of ocean (frog-2) came at his well. Frog-1 welcomed him and gave him some snacks. Then they both started talking on various topics. While talking, frog-1 asked frog-2, "Where do you live?" Frog-2 replied, "I live in the ocean." Frog-1 had no idea about ocean. All his life, he only lived in his well, without knowing about anything outside. Frog-1 asked frog-2, "What is ocean? How big it is?" Frog-2 replied, "It is very big body of water." Frog-1 then made a small circle inside his well and asked, "Is your ocean this much big?" Frog-2 was a humble frog and did not just want to boast about the size of the ocean. Therefore, he simply said, "No, its bigger than this." Now frog-1 traversed a bigger circle within the well and again asked frog-2, "Is your ocean this much big?" Frog-2 again said, "No, its bigger than this." This continued for several times and finally the frog-1 traversed whole circumference of the well and asked, "Is your ocean this big?" Frog-2 still said the same thing, "No, its bigger than this." Frog-1 now became angry and said, "You are bluffing. There can not be anything bigger than my well. All my life, I have never seen any other well bigger than mine. All the frogs of village praise my well. Whatever your ocean is, it can never meet the size of my well." The frog-2 then said to frog-1, "I do not want to hurt you but it is the truth. The ocean is far bigger than your well. If you wish, come with me and I can show you how big the ocean is!!"

Frog-1 initially hesitated to accept the invitation, as he thought frog-2 is only lying and it is impossible that something can beat the size of his well (on which he is so proud of!!!). But, then he thought its better if he proved to frog-2 that his well is biggest possible water body. He then accepted the invitation of frog-2. For the first time ever, frog-1 came out of his well. He was amazed to see the vast sky and the beautiful landscape. Both of them crossed the village to reach the banks of ocean. Frog-1 felt astonished to see the splendid vastness of ocean, and his false pride was broken.
