The Dog and the Frog
A dog sees a small animal in the garden. He does not know that it is a frog or a
toad.
The dog comes to the animal and asks: “What are you? Are you a frog or a toad?”.
“I am a frog, of course.” said the small animal.
“What is the difference between a frog and a toad?” asked the dog.
“Oh my God! You are not taught the difference between a frog and a toad. Please
close your eyes, I will teach you this lesson.” The frog says.
The dog follows the frog to close his eyes. For a while, the dog does not listen to
anything. He opens his eyes. The frog is gone away.
