Story:
Long ago, there lived a frog in an abandoned well. It had never jumped out of the well and was quite content with the food and water it had.
One day, out of curiosity, it asked a passing sea turtle how big the sky was.
The sea turtle described how incredibly vast the sky was. However, the frog could not comprehend what the sea turtle was describing, as it always believed the sky was only as big as the opening of its well.
