To Speak or Not

Now, I will continue telling the story.~~~~~~~

In a short while, everyone arrived at the drinking place. There were two bowls on the ground. One was a beautiful gold bowl filled with clean water. The other was a broken wooden bowl filled with dirty water. Everyone looked at the water in the wooden bowl, each species squinted and said, " I am not going to drink this dirty water!" Then they looked at the beautiful gold bowl that was shining in the bright sun. It was so beautiful! Everyone could not help thinking, "What a beautiful bowl! It must contain the talking water." Therefore, they all rushed to drink it. Only the little frog who grew up in the pond knew which bowl was the "talking water". He whispered to Man, "Go to drink the water in the broken wooden bowl. That is the talking water. Do not let the others drink it." Man said," No! You should drink it." The little frog said, "I can only swim in the water and hop on the land. I can not do as much as a human can. It really does not matter whether I talk or not." When the frog finished speaking, it drank the water in the golden bowl with one big gulp. The man then drank up the talking water in the broken wooden bowl. From then on, only man was permitted to talk. Everything else remained silent.

Here, the story is over. Maybe it is not true, but these stories make life become more colourful. Meanwhile, it also gives people many imagination! Why did people creat the story? I think, because people in the old days could not explain how humans had the ability to talk an other forms of life could not, they created this story. Though the little frog's narration, the man in the story is unselfish, and helpful. Because of these traits, he was respected and granted the opportunity to talk.

Actually, you can give full play to your imagination for creating your own stories. That would be interesting!
