Two Frogs lived together in a marsh. 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. 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.' 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?'
'Look before you leap.'
