Once upon a time, there was an old snake who was too weak to hunt for frogs. Then, he had an
idea to trap the frogs.
He went to a pond full of frogs, and relaxed on the bank without any intention to hunt. At first
the frogs ran away, but then they approached him. The frog king asked, “O Snake! Why don’t
you hunt us as usual?”
The snake replied, “Last night, I bit a holy priest. He cursed me that from then on, I have to
serve frogs. So, I lie here to give a ride on my back to any frog who needs service.”
Then, the king decided to take a ride. The snake rode him around the pond, and the king was
very pleased. However, the next morning, when the king frog asked to ride on the snake back,
he said, “I am too weak to crawl. I have not eaten for so long, and must eat something to be
strong to give you a ride.”
The frog king decided that they must take turns to serve the snake; one frog each day to keep
him strong. From then onwards, the snake gave ride to the frogs, and got to eat one frog every
day. However, the king of frogs was too excited that he did not realize the frogs were rapidly
decreasing. Finally, one day, the snake also ate the king and the entire frogs in the pond were
gone.

tortoise. "Will you please take me?" "Why, yes, I think we can do so," said the white duck slowly.
The two ducks talked together in low tones for a few minutes. Then they flew to the woods.

"Now," said the ducks, "if we take you off to see the world, you must promise us one thing."
"What is that?" asked the tortoise. "I will promise almost anything if you will let me go."
"You must promise not to say one word while you are in the air, NOT ONE WORD," replied the
ducks.
"All right, I promise," said the tortoise. "Sometimes I do not say a word for a whole day because
there is no one to listen to me."
"Well, take firm hold of the middle of the twig; we are ready to start," said the gray duck. "If you
value your life, you must hold on tightly," said the white duck.
The tortoise took hold of the middle of the twig and each duck took hold of one end.
Then they flew up! up! up! while the tortoise swung from the middle of the twig. How he
enjoyed it! He had never had such a ride. They had gone a long way safely when they came to a
hayfield. The haymakers looked up and saw the ducks and the tortoise.
