A frog and a squirrel were neighbors. There was a fundamental difference between the two of them. The squirrel was diligent while the frog was lazy. In autumn, the frog made fun of the squirrel's diligence. He said, "Don't make so much fuss over saving your food." The squirrel answered, "I only fulfill my obligation to build up a reserve fund. The main function of it is to help me to get through the winter. If you make a fuss of yourself in fruitful autumn, you will regret it in the cold winter." The frog frowned at her words and became furious. So he left without a goodbye. The winter came. The squirrel had no expensive furniture, but she had a furnace to keep her warm. Furthermore, she had a beautiful fur overcoat. Her house furnished everything that was needed for one's life. For example, the fuse-box was in the kitchen. Coal was used as fuel. Fried pine nuts were prepared for her dinner. On the contrary, the frog went to and fro on the frontier, looking for something edible. The ground was covered with frost. The terrible weather frustrated his hopes of finding food. He was too tired and hungry to walk any further.The next day, he was found dead, frozen. The squirrel attended the frog's funeral and felt very sorry for him.

　　一只青蛙和一只松鼠是邻居。他们俩之间有着基本的区别。松鼠很勤奋而青蛙很懒惰。在秋天，青蛙取笑松鼠的勤劳。他说：“不要为储藏食物忙乱成那样子嘛。”松鼠回答：“我只是履行自己的职责来建立后备基金。它的主要作用就是帮助我度过冬天。如果你在果实累累的秋天太娇惯你自己的话，你将在寒冷的冬季后悔的。”青蛙对她的话皱眉并且暴怒起来。因此他没有道别就离开了。冬天来临了。松鼠没有昂贵的家具，但她有炉子来取暖。而且，她还有漂亮的毛皮大衣。她的房子装备了所有个人生活所需的一切。比如，保险丝盒子在厨房里。煤是用来做燃料的。油炸松子是她的正餐。与之相反，青蛙在边境上来来回回地寻找能吃的东西。地面上覆盖着霜冻。可怕的天气挫败了他寻找食物的希望。他又累又饿，再也无法走得更远。第二天，他被发现已经死了，身体是冷冻的。松鼠参加了青蛙的葬礼，并且为他的死感到非常难过。
