B. During Reading
Once, there lived two frogs in the
country of Japan. One of whom lived in
a dike near the town of Osaka, on the
seacoast, while the other settled in a
clear little brook which ran through the
city of Kyoto.
Where did one of the frogs lived?
What about the other one?
With such a great distance apart, they In a dike near the town of Osaka
did not know each other; but it was In a clear little brook, which ran
funny that the idea of seeing a little of through the city of Kyoto.
the world came into their heads at the
same time. The frog who lived in Kyoto
wanted to visit Osaka, and the frog who
lived at Osaka, and the frog who lived in
Osaka wanted to go to Kyoto.
Will the two frogs travel in each other’s
dream place?
Yes teacher they will travel to each
other’s dream place.
So, one fine morning in the spring, they
both set out along the road that led from
Kyoto to Osaka, one from one end and
the other from the other. The journey
was more tiring than they expected, for
they did not know much about traveling,
and halfway between the two towns
there arose a mountain which had to be
climbed. It took them a long time and a
many hop to reach the top, but there
they were at last, and it was to the
surprise of each to see another frog
before him!
They looked at each other for a moment
without speaking, and then fell into
conversation, explaining the cause of
their meeting so far from their homes.
It was delightful to find that they both felt
the same wish–to learn a little more of
their native country–and as there was
no sort of hurry they stretched
themselves out in a cool, damp place,
and agreed that they would have a good
rest before they parted to go their ways.
What was the wish of both frogs? To learn a little more of their native
country
What a pity we are not bigger,” said the
Osaka frog; “for then we could see both
towns from here, and tell if it is worth
our while going on.”
What problem did the two frogs They were not bigger enough to
encounter? see both towns
What do you think both frogs would do Answers may vary
in order to solve their problem?
“Oh, that is easily managed,” returned
the Kyoto frog. “We have only got to
stand up on our hind legs, and hold onto
each other, and then we can each look
at the town he is traveling to.”
This idea pleased the Osaka frog so
much that he at once jumped up and
put his front paws on the shoulder of his
friend, who had risen also. There they
both stood, stretching themselves as
high as they could, and holding each
other tightly, so that they might not fall
down. The Kyoto frog turned his nose
towards Osaka, and the Osaka frog
turned his nose towards Kyoto; but the
foolish things forgot that when they
stood up their great eyes lay in the
backs of their heads, and that though
their noses might point to the places to
which they wanted to go; their eyes
beheld the places from which they
had come.
What did the two frogs do in order to They both stood, stretched
see both towns? themselves as high as they could,
and hold each other tightly, so that
they might not fall down
Why did the two frogs were not able to They stood up their great eyes lay
see the two towns? in the backs of their heads.
Their noses might point to the
places to which they wanted to go.
“Dear me!” cried the Osaka frog, “Kyoto
is exactly like Osaka. It is certainly not
worth such a long journey. I shall go
home!”
“If I had had any idea that Osaka was
only a copy of Kyoto, I should never
have traveled all this way,” exclaimed
the frog from Kyoto, and as he spoke,
he took his hands from his friend’s
shoulders, and they both fell down on
the grass. Then they took a polite
farewell of each other, and set off for
home again, and to the end of their lives
they believed that Osaka and Kyoto,
which are as different to look at as two
towns can be, were as alike as two
peas.
