Aesop Fables The Frogs and the Well Two brother frogs lived together in a marsh. One summer, it got so hot that the marsh dried up. The two frogs left in search of another cool damp place to live. They searched for days and days. Just as they were about to give up hope, by and by they came upon a well. The younger, foolish brother hopped up on the well to get a better look. The bottom of the well was pitch black and he couldn't see a thing. "This looks like a nice cool place. Let's jump in and settle here." The older brother with a wiser head on his shoulders, replied, "Not so fast, my friend. Supposing this well dried up like the marsh, how should we get out aga........ Before the older, wiser brother could finish his sentence the younger, foolish brother leaped into the well without even thinking. With a great THUD, the frog hit the bottom of the well to find there was no water, no food, and no way out.
