THE BOYS AND THE FROGS
A company of Boys were watching some Frogs by the side of a pond, and as fast as any of the Frogs lifted their heads the Boys would pelt them down again with stones.
“Boys,” said one of the Frogs, “you forget that, though this may be fun for you, it is death to us.”
A COUNTRY FELLOW AND THE RIVER
A stupid Boy was sent to market by his Mother to sell butter and cheese. He made a stop by the way at a swift river, and laid himself down on the bank to watch until it should run out.
About midnight, home he went to his Mother, with all his market goods back again.
