The Boy, The Puppy, The Kitten And The Small Frog - Part I

" Let me tell you a tale of friendship and love. It goes like this :

Once upon a time, there lived a mother and son. The boy went to school just like you do. Every day, when he left for school, his mother gave him a coin and said:

"Take it, son, and buy a white bun from the bakery."

One day, the boy was on his way to school when he saw three kids cruelly whip a small puppy.

They boy took the stone off the kitten's neck, put the shivering creature in his school-bag and went to school. He stayed hungry once more. When he came back home and his mother saw the kitten, she frowned angrily again but once again said nothing.

On the third day, the boy gave his coin for a small frog, that the children were torturing. It had hopped out of the river without the permission of his mother - The Old Frog.
