Frog and An Ox Story

Once upon a time there lived a family of frogs in a small pond. Two little Frogs were playing about at the edge of that pond. An ox came down to the water to drink, and by accident a small frog was died. 

When the mother frog missed her son she asked her son, Where is your brother? “He is dead, mother,” said the little Frog; “an enormous big creature with four legs came to our pond this morning and trampled him down in the mud.” “Big creature, was he bigger than me? Was he as big as this?” said the frog, puffing herself out to look as big as possible. “Oh! yes, much bigger,” was the answer.

The frog puffed herself out still more. "He could not have been bigger than this," she said. But the little frogs all declared that the monster was much, much bigger and the mother frog kept puffing herself out more and more until, all at once, she burst.

Moral of this Story: Do not attempt the impossible.
