The fable "Looking at the sky from a well" tells a profound story to children through vivid and interesting dialogues. Through the argument between frogs and birds about the size of the sky, this paper expounds a profound truth: to see problems and understand things, we should stand tall and see them comprehensively, and we should not be as self-righteous as frogs make mistakes. This morality has practical guiding significance for children in lower grades, because their understanding of things is often one-sided.

"Looking at the sky from the well" original:

The frog is sitting in the well. The bird flew and landed by the well.

The frog asked the bird, "Where are you from?"

The bird replied, "I came from the sky and flew more than a hundred miles." I'm thirsty. I came down to find some water to drink. "

The frog said, "friend, don't talk big!" " The sky is only as big as the wellhead. Do you still need to fly that far? "

"You are wrong," said the bird. The sky is boundless and vast! "

The frog smiled and said, "Friend, I sit in the well every day and look up to see the sky." I won't make mistakes. "

The bird also smiled and said, "Friend, you are wrong. If you don't believe me, jump out of the well and have a look. "
