There was a big pond in a certain village,many frogs took their shelters in the pond. some of them put their heads out of the water and croaked loudly. one day some naughty boys were playing by the side of the pond. when they heard the frogs croaking, some of them started to throw stones into the pond for fun.these stones hurt some of the frogs, all the frogs at once went down into the water. but the boys did not leave the place, they remained standing there with stones in their hands. they went on throwing stones at the frogs when they raised their heads above the water. so an old frog raised his head out of the water and said, dear boys, don't throw stones at us, plese. we are just playing, said the boys, laughing. I understand that, said the old frog, but the stones you throw hit and hurt us. what's play to you is death to us.
Why did the Pig Scream Loud?
One day a shepherd found a fat pig in the pasture and he wanted to catch the pig. the pig shouted at the top of its voice as soon as the shepherd put his hands on it. the sheep in the pasture didn't understand why they pig shouted so loudly, so they followed the shepherd and the pig along the way. what makes you cry like that?asked one of the sheep. the shepherd often catches and carries off one of us, but we feel very ashamed to make such a terrible noise about it like you do. that is all very well, said the pig, when he catches you, he wants your wooll. but he wants my meat. it is easy to be brave when there is no danger. don't compare two different situations without understanding them.
