A Mouse, by an unlucky chance, formed an intimate acquaintance with aFrog. The Frog one day, intent on mischief, bound the foot of the Mousetightly to his own. Thus joined together, the Frog led his friend towardthe pool in which he lived, until he reached the very brink, whensuddenly jumping in, he dragged the Mouse in with him. The Frog enjoyedthe water amazingly, and swam croaking about as if he had done a meritorious action. The unhappy Mouse was soon suffocated with thewater, and his dead body floated about on the surface, tied to the footof the Frog. A Hawk observed it, and, pouncing upon it, carried it upaloft. The Frog, being still fastened to the leg of the Mouse, was also carried off a prisoner, and was eaten by the Hawk.
Harm hatch, harm catch.
