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
the frog one day intent on mischief bound the foot of the mouse tightly to his own
thus joined together the frog first of all led his friend the mouse to the meadow where they were accustomed to find their food
after this he gradually led him towards the pool in which he lived until reaching the very brink 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 suffocated by 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 with his talons carried it aloft
the frog being still fastened to the leg of the mouse was also carried off a prisoner and was eaten by the hawk
