little jeremiah...........great discussion going on here!
Put me on your ping list!
I have already heard of the frog story before.
ARridgerunner..............
"But Let's change Professor Frog's attitude just a tad so that he is very much aware he lives in a dark well. All he can do is fret about it and wonder how he got there and Just how does he get out?
You take it from there:-)"
Lets see if I can take the story from on:
Now that the frog know his lives in a well and there is a vast unseen world outside, he would be desperate to get out and see that world. (Lets assume the from has a human-like curiosity and thirst for knowledge).
There can be two possibilities...........
#1 The frog lacks the knowlegde of the outside world......
The frog puts up a heroic effort to scramble out of the well. That would be the human equivalent of climbing the Everest.....pure physical effort and mental determination.
#2 The frog has the knowlegde (gyana) of the outside world.......
The frog will wait patiently till the well fills up to the brim during the rainy season......and all he will do is hop out of the well.
#2. So many rain drops falling into the well at one time. He could be waiting on the flood a long time.
