A Mouse, by an unlucky chance, formed an intimate acquaintance with
a Frog. The Frog one day, intent on mischief, bound the foot of the
Mouse tightly to his own. Thus joined together, the Frog led his
friend toward the pool in which he lived, until he reached the very
brink, when suddenly jumping in, he dragged the Mouse in with him.
The Frog enjoyed the water amazingly, and swam croaking about as if
he had done a meritorious action. The unhappy Mouse was soon
suffocated with the water, and his dead body floated about on the
surface, tied to the foot of the Frog. A Hawk observed it, and,
pouncing upon it, carried it up aloft. The Frog, being still
fastened to the leg of the Mouse, was also carried off a prisoner,
and was eaten by the Hawk.
