Description: Translation (Rita Seng Mai) Once upon a time, there was a lake far away from the village. There was a blind frog who lived in that lake. One day, a strong storm caused big waves in the sea. A turtle living near the water was swept away by the powerful waves. He was carried away by the strong waves and became stranded on a distant shore. When the water calmed after the storm, he was stranded and looked around for someone. But he didn't see anyone there, so he started walking to find a path. Before long, he saw a frog in the lake. He told the frog, "My friend, I am happy to see you here. I want to live near you." The frog said, "You can't." But the turtle asked for help. Then the frog asked him, "Where are you from? Where do you live?" The turtle said, "I live near a big sea." The frog asked him, "Why did you come here?" The turtle said, "I was carried away by the big waves during the storm. Now, I am far from my place. I don't know where to go. I can't go back to my place. Let me live near you." The frog looked down on the turtle and asked him, "How big is the sea where you live?" The turtle said, "My friend, I can't even describe how big the sea is. It is endless. It is a vast sea." The frog didn't believe him and said, "I don't believe that the sea is bigger than the lake I live in!" He didn't believe him at all. He said, "There's no place in the world bigger than my lake!" The turtle said, "The sea I live in is so vast and big. It is much bigger than the lake you live in." Then the frog didn't want to listen to him. He took him to the three deep wells and showed them to him. He said, "The sea you live in is not as deep as these three wells, isn't it? Not even as deep as the second one!" The turtle was disappointed and angry with him. He thought, "How could he compare the sea I live in with this shallow well?" He tried to be patient and said, "My friend, the sea I live in can't even be compared to this well." The turtle told the frog that we couldn't even compare those two things. The frog became angry too. No matter what he showed the turtle, the turtle kept saying the sea was deeper and bigger. The frog said to the turtle, "Such a small animal like you lives in a place which is bigger than my lake! You say your sea is deeper than these three wells? Do you really think I'd believe that?" Then, the turtle didn't want to listen to the frog. The turtle said, "When I tell you that the sea is much bigger than the lake you live in, you don't believe me! I can't be patient with you anymore! I can't take this anymore!" They were mad at each other. The turtle angrily said, "I've been patiently explaining how big the sea is, but you just don't understand whatever I say! If I live with you, I will also be like you! You are just a frog in a well! I won't know what is happening around me and will think what I have is best if I live with you! I can't live with you! I won't!" They were quarreling. The turtle said, "I will just go back to the place where I live. You don't believe what your friend says! You think your lake is the biggest, don't you? Just live there forever. I will go back to the sea. I don't want to live with you." Then the turtle went back to his own place.
