The Story of The Little Frog...

There was once...

A little young frog who lives in the pond...
It has many friends around him...
Many happy days were spent croaking on the water lily leaves...

One day, a beautiful sleek cat came by the pond...
It sat down besides the water and glance at those frogs...
Flicking its tail onto the water surface, it viewed them with evident interest...

All of those frogs saw the malicious glint in its eye very clearly...
A predator...
And all of them swam and jumped away from harm's reach...

All but that one little frog...
It was underneath the water surface when the cat came...
And unfortunately missed the significant look from the cat's face...

The little frog surfaced to the water...
He looked around puzzledly, wondering where all of his friends has gone...
Suddenly he saw the cat, who gave the little frog a very sweet smile...

"Hello there little frog, would you care to be my friend??" the cat said, swishing its tail around...

The little frog was surprised, for it had never seen a cat before...
He was mesmerised and the cat took its chance to move nearer...
Purring very sweetly, it studied the little frog before speaking again...

"Little frog, would you like to come up to the land and play with me??"

The little frog was delighted at this offer, for he seldom went to land...
Behind him, his friends were watching his every movement...
When the little frog swam closer to shore, many of them leaped up and yelled "Caution!!!"...

The little frog wondered why his friends would say that to him...
Turning back, he croaked "I'm fine!!!"...
And continue to swim towards shore...

Ignoring other heeds of warning, the little frog has reached the shore...
Looking up to the cat, he suddenly realised just how much bigger it was...
Croaking nervously, he sat there and waited, unsure of what to do...

At the corner of his eyes, he saw that the cat was extending its claws...
The cat smiled at him widely and said "Come nearer to me"...
The little frog saw the row of sharp teeth and knew that he was in trouble...

Within the spilt of a second, the cat hissed and leaped onto the frog...
It caught the little frog by one of its hind legs...
The little frog gave a cry of pain as it desperately try to escape...

He gave a great big kick at the cat's face and fell back into the water...
Kicking virgorously, it swam further and deeper into the pond...
But as he kicked, he realised that he is a whole lot slower then he usually was...

The pain striked him so very sudden...
The water around him was red...
Terror-stricken, the little frog struggled in the water while sinking slowly...

His friends appeared and helped him to a water lily leaf...
It was only when he was lying on top of the leaf before he saw...
One of his legs was missing...

A bloody mess greeted his sight...
The little frog weeped in sorrow...
His friends bowed their heads in guilt...

But it was too late...

Too late...
