Furthermore, a frog placed into already boiling water will die immediately, not jump out.

The story is often used as a metaphor for the inability or unwillingness of people to react to or be aware of sinister threats that arise gradually rather than suddenly. The premise is that if a frog is put suddenly into boiling water, it will jump out, but if the frog is put in tepid water which is then brought to a boil slowly, it will not perceive the danger and will be cooked to death. The boiling frog is an apologue describing a frog being slowly boiled alive.
