The Little Frog and the Big Buffalo

One day a Little Frog happens to see a buffalo on its way to the pond and is
stopped by it. The little frog got surprised.
What are you doing by jumping like this? Yelled the big buffalo at the little frog

This is how I walk responded the frog with a surprise

You have got four legs like any other animal and why cant you just walk?
Buffalo again yelled with the same anger.
Now the little frog understood the confusion the big buffalo had and it turned
upside down and asked:
Look my dear big buffalo how my legs are made. I do have four legs but the
hind ones are differently made hence I cant walk and I can only jump to cover
distances.
Oh I am sorry pleaded the big buffalo
I am really sorry for showing my anger at you without knowing the reason. I
shall be your friend from now on wards and I shall carry you now to wherever
you want to go. Please let me know where do you want to go requested the
buffalo
The little frog felt very happy with the sudden change in the behavior of the big
buffalo.
I need to got to the pond near that banyan tree but I do not know how to climb
on to your back said the little frog
Do not worry I shall sit down so that with one leap you can jump on to my
back suggested the big buffalo
The frog did as suggested but the smooth skin of the buffalo made its efforts
futile. Both the big buffalo and the little frog were disappointed but continued
their efforts. At one point the frog could jump on to the back of the buffalo but

as the big buffalo started standing up it had slipped down. As their struggle
continued they saw Dr.Dove coming towards them.
Whats the matter why are you here asked Dr.Dove by alighting on the branch
of a neem tree near them.
I made a promise to carry this small frog on my back to the pond near that
banyan tree but it has become difficult for this small frog to reach my back.
You want to carry the frog on your back. Isnt it? Asked Dr.Dove.
Yes told the buffalo
Then I have suggestion to you. You both come along with me lead Dr.Dove
towards the pond. All three reached the pond.
Dear small frog you first jump into the water said Dr.Dove
The small frog jumped into the water and looked up by turning back towards
the buffalo and Dr.Dove.
Now dear Buffalo you walk into the water and sit down in such a way that your
back is just touching the surface of the water level in the pond said Dr.Dove.

The big buffalo did as suggested.

The little frog understood what is to be done. Immediately it jumped onto the
back of the buffalo with ease and settled down there.
Soon the buffalo too understood and came slowly out of the water with the
little frog on its back. The little frog and the big buffalo were happy and
thanked Dr.Dove.
Now tell me where shall I take you - asked the big buffalo
Not to the pond again but back to my home in the woods in the north pointed
the little frog.

Seeing their happiness Dr.Dove flew away.

Ears Mouse
Book 2
The Snow Mouse
Ears Mouse woke up with a shiver, 'Brrrrrrrrrr' he said to himself, 'I am in my nice bed with my
big quilt but I am still cold, specially my nose'. His nose was almost as red as Rudolph the Red
Nose Reindeer's nose. He had his night cap on his head to keep his ears warm and had also put
some extra blankets on top of his quilt, as he had thought that it might be cold that night. He
looked at his clock on his bedside table, it said 8:45 - yet he could not see any light shining
through his curtains as it normally did at that time of morning.
Ears Mouse counted 1- 2 - 3 and then jumped out of bed, ran over to his door, grabbed his
dressing gown and put it on as quick as he could. He then went over to his window and opened
the curtains. All he could see through his window was white stuff, like very thick fog. He
decided that he better light his fire to make his house feel a bit warmer. Using some old
newspaper and some twigs, Ears Mouse tried to get a fire going but each time a good flame went
up the chimney a big drop of water would come down the chimney and put the fire out. Ears
Mouse thought that he would have to go outside to investigate. So he go dressed very quickly
and put on his warmest coat, his wellies, gloves and scarf. He opened his front door and walked
out into the fog - or at least he tried to. Ears Mouse bounced back into his house and landed on
his bottom on the floor. It then struck him - it was not fog, it was snow. He now realised what
had happened, 'it must have snowed very heavily last night and has blocked my chimney, door
and windows' he thought to himself.
Ears Mouse was very worried now, 'how am I going to get out?' he wondered, 'I do not have
much food left in my larder as I was planning to gather some more food today'. He though that
he had better start to dig himself out just in case the snow did not melt for a few days, so he got
his shovel from the cupboard in the kitchen and stuck it in the snow in his doorway. 'Hang on',
he thought, 'where am I going to put the snow that I dig out'. He realised that he would have to
put it into his house. After a while Ears Mouse had snow all around him and felt like he was
standing in a freezer. He was starting to feel very cold indeed.
Outside things looked a little bit better. Harry Hedgehog had been looking for some nice juicy
grubs that morning and had raised the alarm when he saw what had happened to Ears Mouse's
house. During the night the snow had blown along the lane and the strong wind had made a
snow drift all over Ears Mouse's house. Many of Ears Mouse's friends were now discussing
what they could do to help get him out of his snow covered house. There was too much snow for
the animals to shift using just spades and shovels. 'We could ask Donald Donkey to stamp on the
snow to make it smaller', said Harry Hedgehog. 'No, that would be too dangerous' said Sid
Squirrel, 'Ears Mouse may be digging his way out and he could get stamped on'. 'I have an idea',

said Molly Mole, 'I could try and make a hole through the snow'. 'Molly, have you ever
burrowed through snow before?' asked Freddie Frog. 'No', replied Molly, 'but is should be much
the same as burrowing through the earth , just a bit colder. 'I think it's a great idea', said Sid
Squirrel, 'does everyone agree?'. Everyone agreed it was the best plan so far.
Molly prepared herself for her journey through the snow. Sid Squirrel loaned her his bobble hat
which she wore on her nose to help keep it warm. Harry Hedgehog loaned her his sweater, even
though it was full of holes from his spiky spines.
Molly started to dig through the cold snow and luckily it was not too hard. Meanwhile, back in
Ears Mouse's house, it was now very cold and Ears Mouse was starting to look a bit blue. He
had not managed to get very far through the snow before his shovel's handle had broken. He was
now using his hands to dig his way through the snow but it was so cold he could not feel his
fingers. Standing back from the snow, to have a rest, Ears Mouse though he was starting to see
things. He could see a red blob in the snow and it was getting bigger and bigger. It was the red
bobble hat on Molly Mole's nose that was poking through the snow and soon after Ears Mouse
could see Molly's head. 'Molly, am I glad to see you?', said Ears Mouse, 'I was just about to
freeze if I had to stay in here any longer'. He gave Molly a hug and then followed Molly back
through the hole.
There was a loud round of applause when Molly Mole and Ears Mouse both climbed out of the
snow tunnel. All Ears Mouse's friends gather round and gave him a big hug. Sid Squirrel put a
big warm blanket around Ears Mouse's shoulders and Harry Hedgehog gave him a hot water
bottle, being careful not to make a hole in it from his spikes. They all went back to Harry
Hedgehog' place as he had lit a big fire. Ears Mouse sat beside the fire drinking a lovely mug of
vegetable soup and was soon feeling much much warmer.
Harry Hedgehog's house was so warm that the other animals decided to go outside and build a
snowman - well actually a snowmouse like their friend Ears Mouse.

The dogs and the lion

In the village called Aropur

By the side of Bigga pond lived two most clever dogs
called Chattu and Mattu.Once they strayed into the nearby
forest where lived the big Lion.
Lion was hungry and tired looking for easy prays. The
moment he saw them he prepared himself to eat the dogs.
Said the lion-now I shall pray upon you and have my
much awaited lunch.
Chattu the cleverer of them gathering all his courage and
said - dear lion please eat me first and let my brother
Mattu go home.
Countered Mattu dear lion Chattu is still young and can
never satisfy your hunger, eat me and let my brother
Chattu go home.
The lion was hungry and became angry at their words but
he was soon calmed by the cooperative attitude of dogs.
Said Chattu-there is way out I and Mattu shall take a
round of the pond and one who returns first to you shall
become your first pray. Lion agreed and the two dogs left
quickly.

Lion waited and waited, hungry as he was he could not

wait any longer and started roaring loudly.
An old elephant was passing nearby and hearing the lion
came and asked the lion as to why was he so upset. Lion
narrated the whole incidence.
The old elephant was smiling, lion became even more
upset and asked the elephant why are you laughing?
Said the old elephant dear lion dont you know that the
dogs live across the Bigga pond and that they have
returned to their masters.
The clever dogs fooled lion.
Hanging his head down the lion returned to deep forest
and decided to eat once again by hunting and not by
begging.
