The Mouse and the FrogTraditional Folk TaleA frog, while out walking one day, 1 a mouse coming toward him."There 2 that foolish mouse," said he. "I will play a good joke on him," and he grinned as he thought how much fun he would have. As 3 met, the frog said, "Good morning, Sir Mouse; I hope I find you well to-day.""Very 4," replied the mouse. "How 5 you?""My health is not very good, so I have taken a holiday. If you are not busy, what do you say to our spending the day together?""Good!" answered the mouse. "I have little to do and nothing would suit me 6. " So they started off together. They 7 far when the frog said, "Let me tie one of your front feet to one of my hind legs, so that I may not lose you.""All right," replied the mouse. "We shall surely be fast friends then."So the frog took a blade of grass and fastened one of the mouse's front feet to one of his hind legs. When the frog leaped, the mouse tumbled after. Then they stopped and had a big laugh; it was very funny. They first 8 to an oat field, where the frog found many insects, and the mouse plenty of grain. Beyond this field there 9 a pond. The frog had been going toward this pond all of the time, but the mouse had not noticed it. They were soon on 10 bank.

You have never taken one, so you can not know how 12 it will make you feel," and the frog jumped into the water. The mouse tried to get free, but the frog only laughed. A hawk, looking down, 13 the mouse and swooped down upon it. Since the frog was fastened to the mouse, he too was carried off, and both lost their lives.
