A mouse was happily singing and dancing on some grass beside a pond. A frog in the pond saw him and thought, “Wow! What a delicious mouse! It would be lovely to take a bite out of him!”So, the frog hopped over to the mouse and said, “Brother Mouse, would you be willing to be my friend?”The mouse replied happily, “Of course! Let’s play together.”

After they got tired from playing together, they lay on the grass to rest. The frog turned to the mouse and said, “Brother Mouse, are you hungry? Would you like to come to my house for a delicious meal?”The mouse drooled and said, “Okay! Where is your house?”The frog replied, “On an island in the middle of the pond.”The mouse said worriedly, “But I can’t swim, how can I get there?”The frog took a piece of rope and tied one end to the mouse’s foot and the other end to his rear leg. Then, he said, “In a moment. Just paddle the water behind me.”The frog then jumped into the water quickly and began to swim forward as fast as he could.

The mouse was dragged into the water and shouted, “Brother Frog, I’m drowning! Help!”The frog replied, “We’re almost there.”And pulled the mouse deeper into the pond. Eventually, the poor mouse drowned. Seeing this, the frog said happily, “Silly mouse, I didn’t want to be your friend. I only wanted to taste your plump and tender meat.”Just then, an eagle swooped down and picked up the mouse with its beak. The frog’s leg was still tied to the mouse, and so, he was also carried back to the eagle’s nest and became its dinner.

The scheming frog had received his just deserts. Remember never to plot against others and be wary of people who may try to harm you.

　　池塘邊的草地上，有一隻老鼠快樂地唱歌又跳舞，池塘裡的青蛙看到了，心想：「哇！好好吃的老鼠，如果可以咬一口，多好呀！」青蛙跳過去對老鼠說：「鼠弟弟，你願不願意做我的好朋友呢？」老鼠高興地說：「我願意，我願意，我們一起來玩遊戲。」
　　青蛙和老鼠玩累了，躺在草地上休息，這時青蛙對老鼠說：「鼠弟弟，你肚子餓不餓，我請你到我家去吃大餐，好不好？」老鼠流著口水說：「好呀！你家在哪裡？」青蛙回答：「在池塘中間的小島上。」老鼠煩惱地說：「可是我不會游泳，怎麼去呢？」青蛙拿出一條繩子，一頭綁住老鼠的腳，另一頭綁住自己的後腿，然後說：「等一下，你跟著我划水就可以了。」青蛙說完就往池塘裡跳。
　　跳下水的青蛙拼命地往前游，老鼠大叫：「青蛙哥哥，我快淹死了，哇～」青蛙回答：「快到了，快到了。」說完更拼命地往前游，可憐的老鼠就這樣淹死了，青蛙高興地說：「笨老鼠，誰想和你做朋友，我只是想吃你那肥肥嫩嫩的肉而已。」這時天上飛來一隻老鷹，一口咬住老鼠，當然，和老鼠綁在一起的青蛙，也一起被帶走，成為老鷹的晚餐。
　　青蛙算計老鼠，最後反而害了自己。記得千萬不可以存心害別人，當然也要小心提防別人的陷害。
