The Frog And The Fly

The Frog and the Fly

A wrinkled green frog squats on a lily pad in a pond. Its bulging eyes blink rapidly as it scans the sky. After a few minutes, a steady croaking is heard--a deep, drum like vibration that fills the old pond like a beating heart.

Near the frog, and slightly overhead, a fly buzzes--its wings fluttering at a rapid pace. Drawing near the frog's head, it hovers in the air, mesmerized by the continuous croaking.

The frog sits on its lily pad and stares at the fly. Its croaking ceases and the frog blinks once. Suddenly, a slimy tongue darts out, grabbing the fly and sucking it into its mouth.
