Frog in a Well
Chinese Idiom: 井底之蛙 (jing di zhi wa)
A frog living at the bottom of a well was very happy with his lot in life. However, one day a turtle from the sea found its way to the edge of the well. The frog described how wonderful the well was to the turtle. But after the turtle described what the sea was like, the frog fell silent.
This idiom is used to describe someone with a limited outlook or a narrow view of the world.
