An ox, as it drank, trampled a young toad. When the mother, who had been away, returned to the spot, she asked the others where their brother was. “He is dead, Mother. Just a little while ago, a huge four-footed beast came along, and there he lies, crushed beneath its hoof.” The mother toad puffed herself up and asked whether the beast had been as big as that. But her children said, “Stop, Mother! Do not swell yourself up! You will burst down the middle before you ever match its size.” It is dangerous for the small to try to rival the great.
