Why Frog and Snake never play togetherOnce upon a time,the child of the frog was hopping along in the bush whenhe spied someone new lying across the path before him. This someone waslong and slender,and his skin seemed to shine,with all the colors of rainbow."Hello there,"called Frog-child."What are you doing lying here in the path?""Just warming myself in the sun,"answered the awesome new,twisting and turning and turning and uncoiling himself."My name is Snake-child. What's yours?"I'm Frog-child. Would you like to play with me?"So Frog-child and Snake-child played together all morning in the bush."Watch what I can do,"said Frog-child,and he hopped high into the air."I'llteach you how,if you want,"he offered.So he taught Snake-child how to hop,and together they hopped up and ownthe path through the bush."Now watch what I can do,"said Snake-child,and he crawled on his belly andclimb into trees.After a while they both grew hungry and decided to go home for lunch,butthey promised each other to meet again the next day."Thanks for teaching me how to hop,"called Snake-child."Thanks for teaching me how to crawl up trees,"called Frog-child.Then they each went home."Look what I can do,Mother!" cried Frog-child,crawling on his belly."Where did you learn how to do that?" his mother asked."Snake-child taught me," he answered."We played together in the bush thismorning. He's my new friend.
