The frog and the snake |
'Hello'-said the frog-Child. Why are you lying on the path?
- I sunbathe-replied the other animal, twisting and unrolling. My name is snake- Child. And you?
I am frog-child. Do you want to play with me?
So they played all morning in the forest. Frog-child taught snake-child to jump and it taught snake-child to drag on the floor and climb trees.
Then each one went home.
-Look what I can do, Mom! Frog-Child cried, dragging on its belly.
- Where did you learn to do that? Asked the mother.
- Snake-Child taught me. We played in the forest this morning. It is my new friend.
- Don't you know that the snake family is bad? Asked the mother. They have poison in their teeth. Be careful when you play with them! And I do not want to see you dragging on the floor. That is not right.
And from that day, frog-Child and snake-Child never play together again. But they often sat alone in the sun,
Each one remembered that unique friendship day.
African tale.
