　A donkey that carried a load of wood was passing through a pond.

　The donkey tripped and fell while crossing.

　As it wasn’t able to rise easily, groaned heavily.  Then some frogs in the pond said,

“Come on, don’t be so sissy.  You just fall into the water.

　What would you do if you had to live here always as we do?”




　Some people show the white feather for nothing.

　This story would be nice to tell those sissies.
