　One day a boggy frog cried out to all the animals around,

“I'm a doctor.

　I can cure any kinds of illnesses.”

　Hearing this, a fox shouted back at the frog.

“How in the world would you cure others?

　You can't even cure your own legs that make you waddle.”



　This story tells us that people who cannot manage their own businesses

　cannot give guidance on how others should manage their businesses.
