The Three Frogs

Three frong hopped into a kitchen when the lady of the house was away and saw a pot of creame.

"This looks interesting!" said two of the frogs.

"Be careful!" warned the third, But the two frogs hoppe onto the rim of the pot, peered in and fell into the cream.

"Help us, we are drowning!" they cried as the cream choked them.

"I can't help you," said the third frog.

"You have to help yourselves. Keep trying!"

"I can't do anything," said one of the sinking frog. "I give up." He sank into the cream and died.

The other frog in the cream also felt like giving up but he didn't. He went on struggling hard to free himslef from the thick cream.

"Don't lose heart, Keep struggling!" urgued the third frog.

So the tired frog continued to kick and splash in the cream untill he has churned the cream into butter! Then he climbed onto a big pat of butter as it rose to the surface of the pot, and jumped out!

"Well done, my brave friend," said the third frog. "You saved your own life. Things are never so bad that you can't do something about them!"

Outwitting A Miser

"Is my friend, Chowdhary Bhim Singh, at home!?" asked a tired traveller named Ram Singh.

"Yes, sahib," said the servant. "He is about to have his lunch."

"And what is he going to eat?"

"Spinach with butter and rotis, followed by carrot halwa."

"Bhim Singh was always a miser, but today he'll have tp offer me lunch!" Ram Singh smiled to himself.

But Bhim Singh had seen his friend from the window. "Quick! Hide the food!" he said to his wife. "Ram Singh is coming!"

"You can turn away a guest!" she protested.

"Do as I say!" snarled her husband.

Five minutes later, he opened the door,saying, "Come in, my friend. What a pity we've just finished lunch."

"Lair!" thought Ram Singh. "HE must have hidden the food!" He sat down and said, "I would have reached earlier, but I had to kill a snake on the way."

"A snake! What snake?" gasped Bhim Singh.

"It was green like the spinach you were going to ear and redlike the carror halwa!" grinned Ram Singh.

"Well done, bhai sahib!" laughed the Chowdhary's wife, while he looked embarrassed. "I'll just save serve the food."
