The Tale of A Frog on the Bottom of A Well
The frog used to be modest and sad,
A head and a tail were all he had.
Then he evolved fully and became smart,
Jumping about, he began to swell and brag.
One day he slipped into a deep dry well,
Thence he has made it his home to dwell.
It’s his kingdom and he feels proud,
So he brags more and more aloud:
“ The heaven is no bigger than the mouth of my Well, I see,
So I must be, and certainly AM, the King of the Universe!
’Cause I am the biggest herein, and all others are inferior to me,
Both in size, in height, in depth, and in singing, in jumping, in verse!”
Until one day a flood came and filled his home,
And made him rise and out of the well float.
Now in panic he sees a grand huge heavenly dome,
And an ocean where his kingdom is only a tiny boat.

英文很棒！诗很棒！请宁馨儿等各位高手也以“井底之蛙”“坐井观天”为题露一手

第一行裡的FROG處﹐應用TADPOLE﹐才能接第二行的意思。

poemhunter

used to表示过去的习惯动作和过去的常态，所以frog在此用得没错。如果用tadpole，那就是青蛙卵了

the Frog at the Well Bottom
He’s been sleeping all the time in silence
since the story of nuisance
was as another-motive told moments
That’s excellent.

唐兄啥意思？咋看没看懂，再看还是没看懂……

    哈，只是另写了一个，不能理解成对主帖的唱或和。是给了另一种
“井底之蛙”一个视角，无意对主帖产生伤害。是打个趣儿。
我英文不好，不敢真用它去写作，这不，一直在论坛上学习呢。别太在意我的信手涂鸦。嘿嘿。
