How it feels

A boastful frog claims he can run fast and climb trees but loses contests against other animals. He then tricks two geese into helping him fly by holding a stick between them, but his pride causes a fall.

What happens

《夸口的青蛙》是一部中国上海美术电影制片厂制作的黑白动画短片。 有只爱夸口的青蛙，夸口说自己跑得快，还擅长爬树。还要求和其他小动物比赛，但是都比输了。后来青蛙又夸口自己可以上天，于是他请来了两只大雁，让他们各叼着一根树枝的两端，自己咬住中间，当真“飞”上了天。当地面上的小动物们惊讶地问“是谁这么聪明，想到了这个办法”时，青蛙又忍不住夸口了，可他刚张开嘴，就从天上掉落下来，摔倒了荷叶上。 (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
