Three friends hopped until they
came to a pond.
¡°I cannot hop over a pond,¡± Bird said. ¡°I must fly across and
wait for you on the other side.¡±
¡°I do not see any lily pads,¡± said Frog, ¡°so I cannot hop over
the pond either. I must swim across.¡±
¡°I cannot hop or fly that far,¡± Grasshopper said. ¡°Nor can I
swim. If I am to join you, the three of us must work together.¡±
Grasshopper explained his plan. ¡°Please, Bird, fly to a tree and
bring back a large leaf to float on the water. While I ride on
the leaf, Frog can guide it across the pond.¡±
Grasshopper¡¯s plan worked
perfectly. Soon the three friends were together on the other
side of the pond.
¡°But, Grasshopper,¡± said Bird, ¡°I worked to bring the leaf, and
Frog worked to push it. What work did you do?¡±
¡°I thought of the plan,¡± Grasshopper said, laughing. ¡°And my
plan worked, for here we are, ready to hop.¡±
¡°So we are,¡± agreed Bird and Frog.
And so they did.
