After a rain of dreams, the nest of the cow's hooves was filled with rainwater. A frog paddled in the water, consciously satisfied.

"Turkish Folk Tales" Is a frog who loves to boast

Two migratory birds crossed the rivers and seas, crossed thousands of mountains and valleys, and flew over the frogs playing in the water.

When the frog saw the migratory birds coming, he shouted loudly, "You are visitors from afar, where are you from?" ”

The migratory bird said: "We came here from the distant ocean, across thousands of mountains and valleys. ”

The frog pointed to the cow's hoof print and said, "Is the ocean you passing through as big as my sea?" ”

The migratory bird said, "You are a cow's hoof print, where is the ocean, the ocean is ten million times larger than yours." ”

The frog said, "I don't believe it, I'm going to go see you." ”

The migratory bird said: "You can't fly how can you see the ocean." ”

The frog said, "But I can't see, how can I believe that the sea is so big!" ”

The migratory bird said, "I think of a way to carry you." ”

So the migratory bird came with a wicker branch, called the frog in the middle, and the two migratory birds at both ends. This allows the frog to be taken away. Before flying, the migratory bird stings the frog and says, "After we take off, you can't open your mouth to speak, and you will fall out of the air." You have to be careful! ”

The frog said, "Okay! Good! I remembered, not talking. ”

They had just flown to a place where a group of women dressed in flowery green clothes, carrying buckets on their backs, holding shovels, pulling grass in the field. One of them, a young woman, looking at the migratory birds and frogs in the air, shouted, "Come and see!" A migratory bird carries a frog in the air! ”

Another woman looked at it and shouted, "Ahhh! Who came up with the idea, it's not easy! ”

When the frog heard this, Annai couldn't help it, and opened his mouth and said, "It was my idea!" With the sound of the words, the frog fell down and fell to the ground and was crushed to pieces. ”

Migratory birds threw willow branches and flew off into the distance. The women who pulled the grass laughed when they saw this. This is really the self-inflicted fruit of the boaster.
