A Lesson in Looking Before You Leap

Once upon a time, there was a frog who lived near a well. One day, the frog was looking down into the well and admiring  its deep, cool waters. “What a shame it is that I can only enjoy this view from above,” thought the frog. “If only I could jump into the well and cool off on this hot day.” And so, without giving it another thought, the frog took a flying leap into the well. But after hopping around for a few minutes, the frog quickly realized that he had made a mistake. The water in the well was far too deep for him to get out! He was stuck.

The moral of this story is simple: sometimes it’s better to take a moment to think things through before making a decision. If the frog had stopped to think about what he was doing before he leapt into the well, he would have realized that it wasn’t such a good idea after all. So next time you’re faced with an important decision, remember to look before you leap!

This moral applies to all aspects of life, from small choices like what to wear today to more significant decisions like whether or not to go to college. So next time you’re faced with an important choice, take a page out of our friend the Frog’s book and remember to look before you leap!
