Two frogs dwelt in the same pool. The pool being dried up under the summer's heat, they left it and set out together for another home. As they went along they chanced to pass a deep well, amply supplied with water, on seeing which, one of the Frogs said to the other: "Let us descend and make our abode in this well." The other replied with greater caution: "But suppose the water should fail us, how can we get out again from so great a depth?" This text is a fable from a famous collection created by Aesop, a Greek story teller Question. What do you think is the moral lesson of the fable? HintHint: every fable has an important life lesson, consider what the frog says in the last sentence and make a judgement based on the answers provided you need to think through the consequences before jumping into a decision this answer is correct because the second frog presents a potential problem before a decision is made you need to act quickly to make sure you survive this answer is incorrect because the first frog wanted to make a quick decision that could have been dangerous for both frogs the first option is generally the best one to take this answer is incorrect because the first frog wanted to make a quick decision that could have been dangerous for both frogs using your instincts is not always the safest option this answer is incorrect because the story is about instincts leading you into trouble if you don’t think the problem through first Question 85.

As they went along they chanced to pass a deep well, amply supplied with water, on seeing which, one of the Frogs said to the other: "Let us descend and make our abode in this well."

This text is a fable from a famous collection created by Aesop, a Greek story teller Question. What is the main purpose of the above fable? Hint Hint: read fable through carefully and reread the final sentence and find an answer that is the closest fit to explain how frogs find new water holes this answer is incorrect because fables are designed to provide moral lessons rather than to present specific information about animal behaviour to describe an interaction between two frogs this answer is incorrect because while the story does describe an interaction between two frogs, it is not the “main purpose” of the fable to show that water is needed for frogs to survive this answer is incorrect because fables are designed to provide moral lessons rather than to present specific information about animal behaviour to teach an important lesson this answer is correct because fables are designed to provide important moral lessons about life Question 86.

This text is a fable from a famous collection created by Aesop, a Greek storyteller Question. Based upon the above fable, why did one of the frogs hesitate to go into the well? HintHint: read the fable and look for the section about the entering the well and think about why they didn’t dive in immediately frogs are scared of dark places this answer is incorrect because there is no evidence in the story to suggest that this is true because the well was very deep and they may not be able to get out again This answer is correct because the frog makes clear in his dialogue when he says “how can we get out again from so great a depth” there was no guarantee that there was water in the well this answer is incorrect because the story clearly states that the well is “amply supplied with water” they were afraid the water may dry up this answer is incorrect because although one frog is concerned the water may dry up, he is more concerned that they will not be able to escape the well Question 87.
