There
once was a frog and a mouse who were very good friends. They did not have the
same kind of house to live in. the mouse lived in a hole in the ground and the
frog lived in the water. The frog could live in the water, but the mouse could
not. When they wanted to visit, the frog would have to come out of the water.
When their visit was finished, the frog would hop back into the water, and the
mouse would run back into his hole in the ground.
One
day the frog came out to visit with the mouse. Wickedness entered into his
heart. He got some rope and tied his foot and the mouse’s foot together. He was
just playing around. But, after the frog finished visiting, he jumped right
back into the water without untying the rope. He had totally Forgot that his
feet were still tied together to the Mouse’s.
The
mouse could not live in the water, and it died. After a while the mouse got
bigger and came out to the top of the water. A hawk saw him and, with a fly
down, took both the dead mouse and the live frog up into the air. The hawk
alighted in a tree and ate both of them. They both met death.
