The Frog and the Ox
by Aesop
“Oh, Father,”said a little frog to the big one sitting by the side of a pond,“I have seen such a terrible monster! It was as big as a mountain, with horns① on his head, and a long tail, and it had hoofs divided in two②.
“Tush③, child, tush,”said the old frog, “that was only the famrer's ox. It isn't so big either, he may be a little bit taller than I, but I could easily make myself quite as broad; just you watch.”So he blew himself out, and blew himself out, and blew himself out.“Was he as big as that?”he asked.
“Oh, much bigger than that,”said the young frog.
Again the old one blew himself out, and asked the young one if the ox was as big as that.
“Bigger, Father, bigger,”the young frog replied.

【寫法指要】
本篇為擬人寓言（fable）。它主要通過對(duì)鳥獸或非生物的敘寫，將人類的生活方式和情景描繪出來。人類的品質(zhì)常常依照一定的傳統(tǒng)（如狐貍代表狡詐等），并用擬人化的手法體現(xiàn)在動(dòng)物身上。它是具有道德寓意的短篇故事，既有影射現(xiàn)實(shí)生活的作用，又含有反諷的意味，它還常常是對(duì)世態(tài)人情的辛辣諷刺。它的主題往往是表現(xiàn)日常生活中的哲理和道德教育。例如本文就是對(duì)那些自高自大、目空一切的人的諷刺，教育人們要謙虛謹(jǐn)慎、戒驕戒躁。本文選的是伊索（Aesop）寓言中的一篇。他的寫作方法 一般是先用記敘方式寫故事，最后得出一條道德寓意（moral）。 蘇州易優(yōu)吳老師初中語(yǔ)文高效提分（Tel:181-1815-9898）
