It's a translation of the Chinese sayingOriginally Posted by thedaffodils
Hi! I am wondering whether it is an genuine English proverb or not. There is an Chinese saying which matches it quite well. Thanks!
PS. It is not necessary to interpret the sentence for me because I knew the meaning of the sentence.

"The frog in the well..."= English proverb? Hi! I am wondering whether the sentence I quote is a genuine English proverb or not. There is a Chinese saying which matches it quite well. I doubt it might be translated from Chinese. Thanks!The frog in the well knows nothing of the great ocean
