One day, hopping
by the side of a
river, a little
frog saw a large
alligator and
hid among the
plants while his
terrified heart
beat fast. The
frog did not
know what to do
as he was very
afraid of
alligators,
especially a
large and ugly
one like that!
|
The little frog
waited for a
long time but
the alligator
should be
sleeping while
he sunbathed
because he did
not move. So the
little frog,
finding courage,
approached him
slowly but
already getting
ready to flee if
necessary.
As the alligator
was motionless,
filling himself
with more
courage, the
little frog
passed by him,
but suddenly the
alligator
attacked. Vapt!...
- Help! Help!
Help me! - the
little frog
croaked,
|
 |
|
desperate. |
|
And the
alligator,
having the
little one stuck
under his big
front leg,
snapped:
- Now you can't
escape me, silly
frog! You
thought you
could deceive
me? I'm a lot
smarter than you
think!
And the frog
with folded
hands, begged:
- Mister
Alligator, have
mercy on me! I
am small and if
you devour me
you will not be
satisfied! If
you would like,
I can find you
another frog
much larger than
me to satisfy
you!
- Oh, really?!...
- said the
alligator, which
was old and did
not have so much
agility to hunt
anymore, as his
eyes gleamed
with
satisfaction.
- Yes, sir! I
see that you
deserve so much
better than me,
a poor frog that
has nothing to
offer you.
- Oh my... So if
you promise me a
better lunch, I
think I can let
you go free.
However, I will
be behind you.
Do not think
that you can
fool me, little
frog.
- Far from me to
think such a
thing about you,
Mister Alligator!
Let's go! I know
where to find
lunch that is
good for you.
And the smart
frog took the
alligator to a
field where
there were many
animals: deer,
zebras and a lot
of other
animals. The
alligator, with
his large mouth
watering and his
eyes glowing
with
satisfaction to
see so much
food, thanked
the frog and
went in search
of his food.
 |
As he moved, the
animals, who
were more agile
than him, would
escape and he
would get alone.
Soon he got
tired of that
situation and,
feeling a need
of water,
|
|
wanted
to go back to
the river bank
where his home
was but could
not find it
anymore. He was
lost! So he
started yelling: |
- Frog! Frog!
Where are you? I
want to go back
to my house but
can't find the
way. Besides, I
need to get into
the water! I
need water!
Help! Help!
The frog, who
was hiding and
watching the
alligator hunt,
took pity on him
and showed up.
- What happened,
Mister
Alligator? Did
you not get your
food? Animals
abound here as I
promised you.
- Take me back
to my river! I
need water or I
will die! I feel
very tired...
- All right, as
long as you do
not threaten me
anymore, I'll
take you there!
So the frog took
the alligator
close to his
river and he was
so grateful they
became friends.
And from that
day on, the frog
would climb on
the back of the
large alligator
and slide across
the river,
showing all the
animals that
they were
friends.
One day, the
alligator went
to visit his
friend the frog
but could not
find him.
Worried, he
decided to look
for him and
found him hiding
from a younger
alligator and
unable to defend
himself.
So the alligator
faced the other
one who was his
colleague and
said:
- Do not mess
with my frog!
He's my friend
and I do not
want anyone to
do anything
against him, do
you understand?
- Yes, I
understand! I
will not do
anything to him,
I promise! -
said the younger
alligator.
So the frog and
alligator became
great friends
and always
defended each
other because of
the gratitude
they felt for
one another.
