I came across a reference to A Lenda da Rã e o Boi (the legend of the frog and the ox) in “Ser Português” by António Lameira and wondered what it was. Nothing specifically portuguese, as it turns out. It’s one of Aesop’s Fables (As Fábulas de Esopo), so Lameira probably should probably have used ‘fábula’ instead of ‘lenda’ but whatever. I haven’t read them since I was little so I looked around and found this retelling of the tale from Sbroing.
