A mouse and a frog became very good friends. Their friendship bloomed and they wanted to stay with each other all the time. They were dissimilar beings as the mouse was an animal that lived entirely on land while the frog was at home in land and water. The frog suggested to the mouse, " Let us tie ourselves to each other with a string so that we will always be together,"
" A splendid idea," replied the mouse.
The frog took a piece of string and tied the tail of the mouse to one of its forelegs. Everything worked well on dry land but one day the frog jumped into a pond, as frogs are prone to do.
The mouse was also dragged into the water as they were tied together bay the string. The mouse was drowned and died and it floated to the surface while the frog swam around.
An eagle spotted the dead mouse and swooped down; caught the dead mouse in its claw and flew away. The frog was carried away also as it cold not free itself from the string.
The eagle had a hearty frog-mouse meal that day!
THOUGHTLESS ACTION LEADS TO TROUBLE.
