The Frog and The Mouse

A long time ago, there were live a mouse and a frog. They were good friends. One day they decided to go on a pilgrimage. They set out for a distant holy place and centre of pilgrimage. They walked together and enjoyed the trip. But, the frog began to get tired sooner than the mouse. Because the frog rarely walked for a long distance. He found it difficult to walked as fast as the mouse. The frog suggested to tied one of his fore legs to one of the hind legs of the mouse with a string. The mouse agreed with him. Then the frog could follow the mouse easily. A problem came again when they reached a wide river. “How am I to cross the stream?” asked worried mouse. The mouse couldn’t swim well. “Well, don’t worry.” replied the frog. “Just ride on my back, and I’ll take you across the stream.” said the frog.
Then the mouse sat on the frog’s back. The frog swam across the stream with the mouse over him. They had covered some distance when a big log of wood came floating by. The frog dived under the log to avoid it. Unfortunately, the mouse fell off the frog’s back and was instantly drowned. Poor mouse. Suddenly a kite swooped down and carried of the mouse in his talons. The frog who tied with a string with the mouse also went up. The kite took away this couple of friends. The kite soon made a good meal of them.
