The Frogs and the Well
青蛙和井
by Aesop
出自《伊索寓言》
Two Frogs lived together in a marsh.
有两只青蛙一起生活在一片沼泽里。
But one hot summer the marsh dried up, and they left it to look for another place to live in: for frogs like damp places if they can get them.
但是某一年的夏天太热了，沼泽地都干涸了，因此，它们离开了那里去寻找一个适合居住的新家：因为对于青蛙来说，只要是潮湿的地方，都是它们的钟爱。
By and by they came to a deep well, and one of them looked down into it, and said to the other, "This looks a nice cool place: let us jump in and settle here."
不久之后，它们来到一口很深的井旁，其中一只青蛙向井底看去，并对它的同伴说：“这地方看着挺不错的：一起跳下去，定居在这儿吧。”
But the other, who had a wiser head on his shoulders, replied, "Not so fast, my friend: supposing this well dried up like the marsh, how should we get out again?"
但是它的更加聪明的同伴说，“别那么心急，我的朋友：要是这口井也像那片沼泽干涸了，我们怎么出来呢？”
Think twice before you act.
正所谓：三思而后行。
