The Mouse, the Frog, and the Hawk

A Mouse who always lived on the land, by an unlucky chance, formed an intimate
acquaintance with a Frog, who lived, for the most part, in the water.

One day, the Frog was intent on mischief. He tied the foot of the Mouse tightly
to his own. Thus joined together, the Frog led his friend the Mouse to the
meadow where they usually searched for food.
After this, he gradually led him towards the pond in which he lived, until reaching
the banks of the water, he suddenly jumped in, dragging the Mouse with him.

The Frog enjoyed the water amazingly, and swam croaking about, as if he had
done a good deed. The unhappy Mouse was soon sputtered and drowned in the
water, and his poor dead body floating about on the surface.
A Hawk observed the foating Mouse from the sky, and dove down and grabbed it
with his talons, carrying it back to his nest. The Frog, being still fastened to the
leg of the Mouse, was also carried off a prisoner, and was eaten by the Hawk.

Frog and Toad

A toad and a frog were sitting on the front stoop criticizing each others looks.

Each thought himself beautiful and the other ugly.

While they were posturing, a girl happened by and was disgusted by both.

"Yeaccchh!!" she screamed, and she stomped on each and ran away.

THE FROG PRINCE

Once upon a time, there lived a beautiful princess who had a golden ball.
One day, while playing in the garden, the ball fell into a pond. She was
very upset and did not know what to do. While she sat there crying
helplessly, a frog hopped out of the pond and asked, Why are you crying,
little princess? She told him about her golden ball. The ugly frog said, I
can help you get your ball but what will you give me in return? I will give
you anything you want! promised the princess. The frog immediately dived
into the water and fetched the ball for her. The princess was very happy.
The frog reminded her, Remember that you promised me anything. Well, I
want to be your friend, eat from your plate, and sleep in your palace! The
princess hated the idea but she agreed and ran back to the palace.

The next morning, the princess found the frog waiting for her. He said, I
have come to live in your palace. Hearing this, the princess ran to her fa-
ther, crying. When the kind king heard about the promise, he told her, A
promise is a promise and you must keep your word. You must let the frog
stay here. The princess was very angry but she had no choice and let the
frog stay. He ate from her plate during dinner and asked the princess to
take him to her bed at night. The princess picked him up angrily and threw
him to the floor.

In a flash, the frog turned into a handsome prince! He told the princess
that he had actually been under the spell of a wicked witch. The princess
fell in love with the prince. They were married and lived happily ever after

LITTLE MERMAID
Long long ago, in the Deep Sea kingdom, there lived the sea king with his
five mermaid daughters. Sirenetta was the youngest and the loveliest among
them. She had a beautiful voice and everybody from far and wide came to
hear her sing and praised her voice and her beauty.

One day, while Sirenetta was swimming on the surface of the water and
watching ships go by, she saw a young man falling off his ship. She swam
swiftly to save him from drowning and dragged him to the shore. Soon,
people found the man on the shore and Sirenetta swam away. This man was
actually the prince of a kingdom. When he became conscious, the prince
looked around for the girl who had saved him but no one knew who she was.

Sirenetta often thought of the young man and fell in love with the prince,
but she was sad because she could never be like all the other ladies he
knew. They had two feet and she had a fish tail!

In the Deep Sea lived a witch with magical powers. One day, Sirenetta
went to beg her for human legs. The witch said, I need your beautiful
voice! Only then I shall give you legs! But you must remember, every time
you set your feet on the ground, it will hurt very badly! Sirenetta agreed.
She did not mind the pain. All she wanted was to be with the prince. As
soon as she got her two feet Sirenetta became dumb. When she was
leaving, the witch said, If your prince marries anybody else, you shall
dissolve in the sea water. You can never become a mermaid again!
With the witchs magic spell, Sirenetta found herself lying on the beach
and the prince looking down at her. He asked, Where are you from? But
she could not reply. The prince took her to his palace and looked after her.
They became good friends and had a wonderful time together. Every step
Sirenetta took hurt, but she bore it all silently. She loved the prince but
the prince was in love with the beautiful maiden who had saved him. The
prince did not realise it had been Sirenetta and she couldnt tell him.

Obeying the wishes of his father, the prince went to meet the daughter of
a neighbouring king. Enchanted by her beauty the prince was convinced this
was the same maiden who rescued him. He asked the princess to marry
him. A grand wedding took place.

Sirenetta was heartbroken. That night, crying she ran to the seashore.
There she saw four mermaids. Why, they were her sisters! One of them
handed her a knife and said, Here, Sirenetta! This is a magic knife! We
gave our long hair locks to the witch of the Deep Sea and she gave this to
us in return. Kill your prince and you shall turn into a mermaid again! Then
you can come and live with us!

Sirenetta took the magic knife and went to the princes room at night. But
she loved him so much that she could not kill him. She knew that at dawn,
she would vanish into the sea, just as the witch of the Deep Sea had told
her earlier. She sat on the shore and wept silently.

Suddenly, from the sky came a pink cloud. It lifted her from the land into
the sky. Where am IT asked Sirenetta, for now she could talk. The
beautiful fairies replied, We are the air fairies. You are now one of us
because you did a good deed for the person you love. Come with us.

From then on, the little mermaid, Sirenetta, lived in the sky with the
fairies.
