The Boiled Frog
They say that if you put a frog into a pot of boiling water,
it will leap out right away to escape the danger.

But, if you put a frog in a kettle that is filled with water that is cool and pleasant,
and then you gradually heat the kettle until it starts boiling,
the frog will not become aware of the threat until it is too late.
The frog's survival instincts are geared towards detecting sudden changes.

This is a story that is used to illustrate how people might get themselves into terrible trouble.
This parable is often used to illustrate how humans have to be careful to watch slowly changing trends in the environment, not just the sudden changes. Its a warning to keep us paying attention not just to obvious threats but to more slowly developing ones.

An example:
Let's say that every year, the local well had an inch less of water in it. A person might realize there's a problem if there's suddenly NO water, but a slowly dropping level might not be an obvious crisis until it's too late!

Frog in a Milk-Pail
A frog was hopping around a farmyard, when it decided to investigate the barn. Being somewhat careless, and maybe a little too curious, he ended up falling into a pail half-filled with fresh milk.

As he swam about attempting to reach the top of the pail, he found that the sides of the pail were too high and steep to reach.
He tried to stretch his back legs to push off the bottom of the pail but found it too deep.
But this frog was determined not to give up, and he continued to struggle.
He kicked and squirmed and kicked and squirmed, until at last, all his churning about in the milk had turned the milk into a big hunk of butter.
The butter was now solid enough for him to climb onto and get out of the pail!

"Never Give Up!"

All-Woman Police Station Offers Solutions To Men Too

VISAKHAPATNAM, MARCH 8. Ever heard of an all-woman police station receiving and solving cases pertaining to husband-beating and other cases of harassment of men?
The Women's Police Station here, known as Women Protection Cell, has found that some of the complaints received from women alleging dowry harassment, wife-beating and illicit contact with other women by their husbands were `false and concocted.'
Following carrot-and-stick tactics resorted to by specially-trained women cops, some of the accused had admitted that their complaints were not true.
In some cases, men themselves have walked into the police station with a long list of complaints against their `better-halves.' While some complaints were due to ego clash, others ranged from non-cooperative and quarrelsome attitude to `too much interference by their in-laws.'
The Women Protection Cell located close to the police commissionerate has become a landmark in the city for a variety of reasons. Managed by a 12-woman team and assisted by counsellors and the Andhra University Social Work Department's faculty, it has achieved the distinction of solving nearly 90 per cent of the cases through counselling.
"On an average, 10 per cent of the cases handled by us are related to beating of husbands by women***** or other sorts of harassment," admits the Sub-Inspector of Police and in-charge of Women Protection Cell, D. Jayalakshmi. She told The Hindu on Tuesday that 75 per cent of the cases received by women against their husbands related to 498 A (dowry harassment) of Indian Penal Code.
Other cases pertain to illicit contacts, Section 495 (second marriage) and 420 (cheating).

The Boys and the Frogs
Some boys, playing near a pond, saw a number of Frogs in the water and began to pelt them with stones.
They killed several of them, when one of the Frogs, lifting his head out of the water, cried out:

"Pray stop, my boys: what is sport to you, is death to us."

The Ant and the Dove


AN ANT went to the bank of a river to quench its thirst, and
being carried away by the rush of the stream, was on the point of
drowning. A Dove sitting on a tree overhanging the water plucked
a leaf and let it fall into the stream close to her. The Ant
climbed onto it and floated in safety to the bank. Shortly
afterwards a birdcatcher came and stood under the tree, and laid
his lime-twigs for the Dove, which sat in the branches. The Ant,
perceiving his design, stung him in the foot. In pain the
birdcatcher threw down the twigs, and the noise made the Dove
take wing.

The Rose and the Amaranth


A Rose and an Amaranth blossomed side by side in a garden, and the
Amaranth said to her neighbor, "How I envy you your beauty and your
sweet scent! No wonder you are such a universal favorite." But the
Rose replied with a shade of sadness in her voice, "Ah, my dear
friend, I bloom but for a time: my petals soon wither and fall, and
then I die. But your flowers never fade, even if they are cut; for
they are everlasting."

The Miser

A miser sold all that he had and bought a lump of gold, which he buried in a hole in the ground by the side of an old wall and went to look at daily. One of his workmen observed his frequent visits to the spot and decided to watch his movements. He soon discovered the secret of the hidden treasure, and digging down, came to the lump of gold, and stole it. The Miser, on his next visit, found the hole empty and began to tear his hair and to make loud lamentations. A neighbor, seeing him overcome with grief and learning the cause, said, "Pray do not grieve so; but go and take a stone, and place it in the hole, and fancy that the gold is still lying there. It will do you quite the same service; for when the gold was there, you had it not, as you did not make the slightest use of it."

The Bear and the Two Travelers


TWO MEN were traveling together, when a Bear suddenly met them on
their path. One of them climbed up quickly into a tree and
concealed himself in the branches. The other, seeing that he
must be attacked, fell flat on the ground, and when the Bear came
up and felt him with his snout, and smelt him all over, he held
his breath, and feigned the appearance of death as much as he
could. The Bear soon left him, for it is said he will not touch
a dead body. When he was quite gone, the other Traveler
descended from the tree, and jocularly inquired of his friend
what it was the Bear had whispered in his ear. "He gave me this
advice," his companion replied. "Never travel with a friend who
deserts you at the approach of danger."


Misfortune tests the sincerity of friends.

The Boy and the Filberts


A BOY put his hand into a pitcher full of filberts. He grasped
as many as he could possibly hold, but when he tried to pull out
his hand, he was prevented from doing so by the neck of the
pitcher. Unwilling to lose his filberts, and yet unable to
withdraw his hand, he burst into tears and bitterly lamented his
disappointment. A bystander said to him, "Be satisfied with half
the quantity, and you will readily draw out your hand."


Do not attempt too much at once.
