The Lion and The Frog
(Aesop’s Fables)
Translation ちいさな翻訳屋さん
Japanese ・ English ・
Japanese & English
While a frog was croaking loudly,
a lion came by.
“It must be a big beast that can produce such a loud voice.”
The lion thought, and stopped to look back
After a while, the frog came out from the pond.
The lion came to the frog, and said with treading it.
“Oh my goodness!
It was this tiny frog that croaked so loud. How disgusting!”
This story exemplifies talkative people who speak eloquently
but cannot do anything except for that.
