The boy and the frog

Once there was a little boy who liked to play in the garden. There was a well in the garden. One day he looked I to the well and saw a little frog inside! He panicked- the soft hearted little boy thought the frog could not swim and Ai he heroically jumped into the well himself- to save it. But... He didn't know how to swim and soon begs struggling. The frog liked the boy though he couldn't understand why he would jump in like that. It could tell the boy was struggling and so started croaking as loud as he could. A pelican flying overhead heard the racket and swooped down to find out what was the matter. The frog quickly told the bird that the boy was drowning and the pelican flew into the well and picked up the boy in his huge beak and brought him up to safety. The not lay panting in the grass when the frog asked the pelican to help him up as well. So down went the pelican again and brought up the frog. Then the frog asked the boy- "why did you jump on for?!?!?!?" 

The boy sputtered- I wanted to save you! The frog was stunned- he hopped over to the boy and gave him a big wet kiss and snuggled up to him. The pelican smiled and flew off. 

Later the boy told his mother! " mum you will never believe what happened! I fell into a well to save a frog and a pelican rescued me! " 

" yes dear " said the mother smiling. She didn't believe him of course... But you and I know what happened don't we!
