The Birds and the Frog

The frog lives in a lake. It has two friends, two big white birds.

But the birds want to go to another lake.

"My good friends, take my with you!" says the frog.

"Very well," says one of the birds. "Do you see this stick? I take one end, friend takes the other end, and you must take the stick in your mouth in the middle. But you must not speak! Don't open your mouth!"

So one bird takes one end of the stick, the other bird takes the other end, and the frog takes the stick in its mouth in the middle. And they fly to another lake.

Some children are in the field. They see the birds and the frog in the sky.

"Oh, look!" they cry. "What is it? Whay have the birds? Is it a big clock?"

The frog opens its mouth and cries: "I am not a clock! I am a frog!"

And flop! the frog falls down!
