There was a big pond a certain village. It was filled to the brim with water. Many frogs took their shelter in the pond. Some of them put their hands out of the water and cracked loudly. One day some naughty boys were playing by the side of the pond. When they heard the frogs croaking. Some of them started to throw stones into the pond for fun. These stones hurt some of the frogs.  All the frogs at once went down into the water. But the boys did not leave the place. They remained standing there with stones in their hands. They went on pelting the frogs with stones when they raised their heads above the water. So an old frog raised in the head out of the water and said “Dear boys don’t throw stones at us, please. “ We’re playing”, said the boys, laughing. I understand that, said the old frog. But the stones you throw the hit and hurt us. What’s play to you is death to us.”
