The Rat and the Frog.

A Rat in an evil day made acquaintance with a Frog, and they set off ontheir travels together. The Frog, on pretense of great affection, and ofkeeping his companion out of harm's way, tied the Rat's foot to his ownhind-leg, and thus they proceeded for some distance by land. Presentlythey came to some water, and the Frog, bidding the Rat have goodcourage, began to swim across. They had scarcely, however, arrivedmidway, when the Frog took a sudden plunge to the bottom, dragging theunfortunate Rat after him. But the struggling and floundering of the Ratmade so great a commotion in the water that it attracted the attentionof a Kite, who, pouncing down and bearing off the Rat, carried away theFrog at the same time in his train.

Inconsiderate and ill-matched alliances generally end in ruin; and theman who compasses the destruction of his neighbor, is often caught inhis own snare.
