‘Why the crap would I want to do that?’ quoth the amphibian. ‘Your sky is the size of a handkerchief!’
The Chinese expression 井底之蛙 – jǐng dǐ zhī wā, “frog at the bottom of a well” – condensed from a folk tale, in Japanese is 井底の蛙（せいていのかわず). Denoting “a person of limited knowledge and experience”, it additionally transpires a tinge of militant ignorance: “I don’t know and I don’t care to know!”
“In the sky full of people, only some want to fly, isn’t that crazy?”
