작은 연못에서 개구리들이 살아가고 있었습니다. 그들은 아무런 걱정도 없이 행복하게 살았습니다.
무더운 여름이 되었며 햇빛이 뜨겁게 내리비치고 날씨는 점점 더 무더워지기 시작했습니다. 그런데 며칠 동안 비가 내리지 않아서 연못의 물이 점점 줄어들었습니다.
그래서 개구리들은 걱정을 하지 않을 수가 없었습니다.
"어떻게 하지? 연못의 물이 점점 줄어들고 있어. 이러다간 연못이 바짝 말라서 우리가 더 이상 살 수 없게 될지도 모르겠어."
개구리들은 몹시 걱정했지만 비는 내릴 기미도 보이지 않았습니다. 결국 연못은 바짝 말라서 바닥을 드러내고 말았습니다. 개구리 한 마리가 울상을 지으면서 말했습니다.
"우리는 여기에서 더 이상 살 수가 없어. 이제부터 어디에서 살아야 하지?"
"물이 있는 곳을 찾아보는 것이 좋겠어. 자, 다른 연못을 찾아보자."
개구리들은 물이 있는 곳을 찾아서 여행을 떠났습니다. 하지만 물이 있는 곳을 발견하는 것은 쉬운 일이 아니었습니다. 가뭄으로 인해 다른 연못들도 거의 말라버렸기 때문입니다. 그러다가 개구리들은 깊은 우물을 발견했습니다. 개구리들은 머리를 숙이고 우물 속을 들여다 보았습니다. 아주 깊은 우물 바닥에 물이 약간 고여 있었습니다.
"야! 물이다. 여기에 물이 있어. 빨리 이리와 봐!"
물을 발견한 개구리가 몹시 기뻐하면서 다른 개구리를 불렀습니다.
"우리는 오랫동안 고생을 하면서도 물을 찾지 못했어. 그런데 여기에서 물을 찾게 되었구나. 이제부터 여기에서 사는게 좋겠어."
그러나 그 말을 듣고 우물 속을 들여다보던 다른 개구리가 굳은 표정으로 고개를 저으면서 말했습니다.
"아니야, 안 되겠어. 만약 이 우물 속의 물마저 말라버린다면, 우리는 다시 땅 위로 올라올 수가 없어. 우리는 우물에서 빠져나오지도 못하고 죽게 될거야."
우물을 발견한 개구리가 몹시 기뻐하면서 우물에서 살자고 했지만 다른 개구리는 고개를 흔들며서 반대했습니다. 만약 가뭄이 계속 되어서 우물 속의 물마저 말라버린다면 개구리들은 꼼짝도 하지 못하고 죽을 수밖에 없을 것입니다.
1. 개구리들은 무엇때문에 여행을 하게 되었을까요?
2. 두번째 개구리는 어째서 우물 속에서 사는 것을 반대했던 것일까요?
3. 여러분의 성격은 첫번째 개구리에 가까운가요? 그렇지 않으면 두번째 개구리에 가까운가요? 이 우화 속의 개구리들과 같은 상황에 처했다면 어떤 선택을 했을지 생각해 보세요.

Frogs were living in a small pond. They lived happily without any worries.
It became a hot summer; the sun was shining hotly, and the weather started to get hotter and hotter. However, as it hadn’t rained for several days, the water in the pond gradually decreased.
So, the frogs couldn’t help but worry.
“What should we do? The water in the pond is gradually decreasing. If this continues, the pond might dry up completely, and we might not be able to live here anymore.”
The frogs were very worried, but there was no sign of rain. Eventually, the pond dried up completely, revealing the bottom. One of the frogs said with a sad face.
“We can’t live here anymore. Where should we live from now on?”
“It would be good to look for a place with water. Let’s look for another pond.”
The frogs set off on a journey to find a place with water. However, finding a place with water was not an easy task. Due to the drought, other ponds had also almost dried up. Then, the frogs found a deep well. The frogs bowed their heads and looked into the well. There was a little water at the very bottom of the deep well.
“Hey! It’s water. There’s water here. Come here quickly!”
The frog who found the water called the other frogs with great joy.
“We couldn’t find water even though we’ve been struggling for a long time. But we found water here. We should live here from now on.”
However, another frog who was looking into the well shook his head with a stern expression and said.
“No, we can’t. If the water in this well also dries up, we won’t be able to return to the ground. We will die without being able to get out of the well.”
The frog that found the well was very happy and wanted to live in it, but the other frog shook his head and opposed it. If the drought continues and the water in the well dries up, the frogs will not be able to move and will have to die.
- Why did the frogs go on a journey?
- Why did the second frog oppose living in the well?
- Is your personality closer to the first frog? Or is it closer to the second frog? Think about what choice you would have made if you were in the same situation as the frogs in this fable.

Sure, let’s reimagine this story in the world of Paw Patrol:
The pups were living in Adventure Bay. They lived happily without any worries.
It became a hot summer; the sun was shining hotly, and the weather started to get hotter and hotter. However, as it hadn’t rained for several days, the water in the bay gradually decreased.
So, the pups couldn’t help but worry.
“What should we do? The water in the bay is gradually decreasing. If this continues, the bay might dry up completely, and we might not be able to live here anymore.”
The pups were very worried, but there was no sign of rain. Eventually, the bay dried up completely, revealing the bottom. One of the pups, Rubble, said with a sad face.
“We can’t live here anymore. Where should we live from now on?”
“It would be good to look for a place with water. Let’s look for another bay.”
The pups set off on a journey to find a place with water. However, finding a place with water was not easy. Due to the drought, other bays had also almost dried up. Then, the pups found a deep well. The pups bowed their heads and looked into the well. There was a little water at the very bottom of the deep well.
“Hey! It’s water. There’s water here. Come here quickly!”
The pup who found the water, Zuma, called the other pups with great joy.
“We couldn’t find water even though we’ve been struggling for a long time. But we found water here. We should live here from now on.”
However, another pup, Rocky, looking into the well, shook his head sternly and said.
“No, we can’t. If the water in this well also dries up, we won’t be able to return to the ground. We will be stuck in the well.”
Zuma, who found the well, was thrilled and wanted to live in it, but Rocky shook his head and opposed it. If the drought continues and the water in the well dries up, the pups will not be able to move and will have to stay in the well.
Why did the pups go on a journey? Why did Rocky oppose living in the well? Is your personality closer to Zuma? Or is it closer to Rocky? Think about what choice you would have made if you were in the same situation as the pups in this story.
