The Neighbouring Frogs

Two frogs were neighbours. One lived in a deep pond, far from the road, the other in a small puddle on the road. The one in the pond advised the other to come and live near her: she would enjoy a better and safer life there. But the other would not be persuaded; it would be hard, she said, to tear herself from a place where she had her habits. And so one day a passing cart crushed her.

Habit can keep people trapped in degrading occupations until it is too late to change.
