Jiji the little chick and Gāgā the little duck are next-door neighbors. Jiji often goes out to play, while Gāgā stays home and refuses to go outside. When Jiji tells Gāgā about the world beyond their home, Gāgā is astonished. Gāgā thinks the outside world is very, very small, small enough to hold only Jiji and Gāgā. Is that really true?
Theme: This little story introduces children to the idiom “a frog at the bottom of a well,” which describes someone with a limited outlook. Children should look at things and understand them from every angle, rather than seeing only part of something and making a one-sided judgment.
