"The Frog Who Would Grow as Big as the Ox" is one of the fables written by Jean de La Fontaine, a renowned French fabulist, which was later illustrated by Benjamin Rabier, a French illustrator known for his humorous and vibrant animal characters. This fable, included in La Fontaine's 1668 collection, draws from Aesop's fables and is categorized under Book I, Fable III in La Fontaine's compilation. The narrative centers on a frog that aspires to be as large as an ox. In its vain attempt to inflate itself to match the size of the ox, the frog ultimately bursts. This story serves as a moral lesson on the dangers of envy and the folly of overreaching beyond one's capabilities. La Fontaine's fables are celebrated for their wit, moral lessons, and the engaging way in which they reflect human behaviors through anthropomorphic characters. Benjamin Rabier's illustrations, created centuries later, have contributed to the enduring appeal of these fables by providing captivating visual interpretations that enhance their accessibility and enjoyment for both children and adults.
