An old fable told about two ducks and a frog. They often played together in a small pond. The hot days of summer arrived. The pond dried up. The three friends were forced to move. The ducks could easily fly to another place. The frog could not so easily move to a new location. The frog suggested that the ducks hold a stick in their beaks. The frog planned to cling to the stick with his mouth as the ducks flew to a new place. The frog was proud of his shrewd idea. During the flight, they passed over a farmer who looked up and saw them. The farmer wondered aloud, "What a great idea! I wonder who dreamed up this way of traveling?" The frog swelled with pride and shouted "I did!" At that moment, the frog lost his grip and fell to the ground.
