Boys and Frogs
Some mischevious boys were watching at the side of a pond. When any frogs showed their heads, the boys threw stones at them. One of the frogs said, "Maybe it´s fun for you to throw stones at us, but this sport could kill us".
Moral: It is not good for children to throw stones at animals or hurt them in any other way. Such children may become brutal adults.
Vocabulary: mischevious - wicked (not kind to others) pond - A still body of water smaller than a lake. |
