The Boys and the Frogs

								
Some Boys were playing one day at the edge of a pond in which
lived a family of Frogs. The Boys amused themselves by throwing
stones into the pond so as to make them skip on top of the water.

The stones were flying thick and fast and the Boys were enjoying
themselves very much; but the poor Frogs in the pond were
trembling with fear.

At last one of the Frogs, the oldest and bravest, put his head
out of the water, and said, "Oh, please, dear children, stop your
cruel play! Though it may be fun for you, it means death to us!"

Always stop to think whether your fun may not be the cause of
another's unhappiness.
