Ox
Narrator: In a pond near the meadow, there lived a group of frogs who spent their days hopping and splashing in the water. One day, a huge ox wandered into the meadow.
(Ox enters the stage)
Frog 1: (excitedly) Look at the size of that ox! It's enormous!
Frog 2: (curious) I wonder if we could be as big as the ox.
Frog 3: (doubtful) Oh, come on! We're just tiny frogs. We could never be like that.
Narrator: Determined to prove the doubtful frog wrong, Frog 1 hopped over to the ox.
(Frog 1 approaches the Ox)
Frog 1: Mr. Ox, could you please teach us how to be as big and impressive as you?
Ox: (amused) Little frogs, size isn't everything. But I can show you how to carry yourselves with dignity.
Narrator: The ox demonstrated a graceful and proud posture to the frogs.
(Frogs attempt to mimic the Ox)
Frog 2: (trying) Like this?
Ox: (chuckles) Not bad, but it's not just about appearances. It's about confidence and self-respect.
Narrator: The frogs continued to practice, hopping and standing tall. But suddenly, they heard a loud noise.
(Farmer enters with a wagon)
Farmer: (to the Ox) Time to plow the field, my strong friend!
Narrator: The frogs, startled by the noise, leaped back into the pond.
Frog 3: (relieved) Phew! I think being a frog suits us better.
Narrator: The frogs realized that they were happiest being who they were, and that size wasn't the key to happiness.
