THE TWO FROGS
One night two frogs
found themselves in a diary. Hopping and jumping around as frogs do. They both
jumped into a milk pail half full of milk.
After swimming around
for some time they tried to get out. But the inside of the pail was too
slippery and there was nothing on which they could rest so that they could jump
out. One frog thought it was useless trying to swim on and just gave up hope
and sunk and was drowned.
The other carried on
swimming hoping against hope that something would turn up. He swam and swam
until it began to feel tired. But this time the milk which was full of cream
had become thick. When the frog had swum some more the cream had been stirred
so much that it became a solid lump of butter.
On this the frog
could scramble and rest. And from it he could easily jump out of the pail into
safety.

DUA
EKOR KATAK
Pada suatu malam ada
dua katak terdampar di sebuah pabrik susu. Mereka melompat-lompat layaknya
katak. Kedua katak tersebut melompat ke dalam ember yang berisi setengah air
susu.
Setelah
berenang-renang beberapa saat mereka mencoba keluar, namun ember terlalu licin
dan tidak ada pijakan untuk keluar. Salah satu katak berfikir sia-sia kalau
hanya berenang-renang and hanya pasrah tenggelam.
Katak yang satunya
lagi bersikeras tetap berenang berharap akan ada keajaiban. Dia tetap berenang
dan berenang sampai merasa lelah. Akhirnya susu yang penuh dengan krim menjadi
padat. Saat katak itu berenang beberapa krim telah teraduk sehingga akhirnya
menjadi seperti gumpalan mentega yang keras.
Dengan demikian
akhirnya katak dapat berusaha keluar dan istirahat. Dan pada akhirnya dia dapat
keluar dari ember dengan selamat.
