The Naughty boys and the Frog

Abstract

We would usually expect the plural in this title. In this version, a young frog steps forward before the boys can throw anything. He announces that what they are about to do may be fun for them but is not fun for the frogs. Many versions state the second half more strongly, e.g., It is death for us. The moral here is Do not do thing to other people that you would not like done to you.
