<h2>THE OX AND THE FROG</h2>
<br/>
<p>Two little Frogs were playing about at the edge of a pool when
an Ox came down to the water to drink, and by accident trod on one
of them and crushed the life out of him. When the old Frog missed
him, she asked his brother where he was. "He is dead, mother," said
the little Frog; "an enormous big creature with four legs came to
our pool this morning and trampled him down in the mud." "Enormous,
was he? Was he as big as this?" said the Frog, puffing herself out
to look as big as possible. "Oh! yes, _much_ bigger," was the
answer. The Frog puffed herself out still more. "Was he as big as
this?" said she. "Oh! yes, yes, mother, _MUCH_ bigger," said the
little Frog. And yet again she puffed and puffed herself out till
she was almost as round as a ball. "As big as...?" she
began—but then she burst.</p>
