The Snake and The Foolish Frogs
Once a snake who had grown weak with old age came across a pond where many frogs lived with their king, queen and little prince. The snake had not eaten for many days. He tried to catch some of the frogs, but was too weak to catch any of them.
While being busy in their game, the frog prince and his friends were surprised to see the snake and did not notice the snake. The snake slowly opened its eyes and said, "Do not worry. I once bit a sage's son, The sage got angry and cursed me that I would carry frogs on my back for the rest of my life."
Hearing this, the frog prince jumped up with joy. "Then I will ride on your back," he said. So the frog prince jumped on top of the snake and commanded, "Take me to my parents." "Let us also ride the snake," the queen urged the frog king. So they all sat on the snake. But the prince complained because the snake moved slowly. "I have not eaten for several days.I can eat only with your permission," said the snake. "Your subjects are my food." "How can I permit you to eat us?" asked the king. The prince was upset and cried. "Father, please permit him. I don't want to loose him." Even the queen spoke up. "Do permit the snake. How many frogs can he eat anyway? We have many subjects."
At last the king had to grant permission. The snake began to eat many frogs every day. Soon he was very strong and healthy. Now, he moved very quickly. The prince was thrilled to ride a snake that moved so fast. One day the snake went to the frog king. "I am hungry O king. There are no more frogs left in the pond. So now I am going to eat you all." And the wicked snake pounced on all the three royal frogs and ate them up.
