A little hungry Mouse found his way one day into a basket of corn. When the Frog saw the Mouse, he swam to the bank and croaked: Won't you pay me a visit? He could not have been bigger than this, she said. No, no! Daddy is watching and Daddy will kill him if he should come near! Now a Boar spied him, and rushing at him, gored him with his yellow tusk. The Shepherd wanted to make the Wild Goats part of his flock; so he fed them well. But the little Frogs all declared that the monster was much, much bigger and the old Frog kept puffing herself out more and more until, all at once, she burst.
Friends in fine weather only, are not worth much.
