What's the story of the tortoise in the well?

A long time ago, there were two turtles, one of which was blind. It lives in a deep well. Another turtle lives in the river. The tortoise is tired of staying in the river, so he wants to walk on the land and see the outside world. One day, he accidentally fell into a deep well where a blind turtle lived. The sound of falling into the well alarmed the sleeping blind turtle. It crawled over and asked, "Who are you?"

"I am a river turtle, from a river."

The blind turtle has been living in a well and knows nothing about this river. As soon as he heard his new friend talk about the river, he walked in a small circle in the well and asked, "Is this river so big?"

The tortoise replied, "bigger than this."

So the blind turtle walked around two-thirds of the well and asked, "Is this river so big?"

The tortoise replied, "much bigger!" "

The blind turtle then asked, "So, is this river as big as this well?"

The turtle replied, "Of course, it's much bigger. It is unparalleled. "

So the blind tortoise said, "If this is true, how big is this river?"

The river turtle replied, "You have never seen other water except this well in your life, and your knowledge is very small." As for the river, even if you spend many years, you can't swim halfway, let alone reach its boundary. So it will never be as good as your well. "

The blind turtle said disapprovingly, "There is definitely no bigger water than this well." You are just praising your hometown with exaggerated language! After listening, the river turtle said, "I've only heard of frogs in the well before, but I didn't expect to see another turtle in the well today." "
