“In this fable, a group of frogs see an enormous ox and are amazed by its size. They become envious and decide to puff themselves up to be as large as the ox. Despite their efforts, they cannot match the ox's size and end up bursting from their overexertion. The story teaches that aspiring to be something you are not can lead to one's downfall and that it’s better to accept and be content with your own nature.”
