The Frog and The Truck

While hopping about one day, a frog happened to slip into a very large pothole along a country road. All his attempts at jumping out were in vain. Soon a rabbit came upon the frog trapped in the hole and offered to help him out. He, too, failed. After various animals from the forest made three or four gallant attempts to help the poor frog out, they finally gave up.

"We'll go back and get you some food," they said. "It looks like you're going to be here for a while."

However, not long after they took off to get food, they heard the frog hopping along after them. They couldn't believe it!

"We thought you couldn't get out!" they exclaimed.

"Oh, I couldn't," replied the frog. "But you see, there was a big truck coming right at me, and I had to."
