two frogs had lived in a village all their lives they thought of going to see the big city that was about ten miles away at last they set off to see the city

it was a hot day, and they started to feel tired they had only gone a little way when one said to the other, "we must be near can you see the city?" "no," said the other frog; "but if i climb on your back i might be able to see it"

so he climbed up on the back of the other frog to see the city now when the frog raised his head, his eyes could only see what was behind only so he saw the village they had just left "can you see the city?" asked the frog who was below

"yes," answered the frog that was on the top "i can see it it looks just like our village" then both frogs thought that it was no use going any farther they went back and told the frogs round the village that they had seen the city
