I will retell a fable.
I follow the traditions. Once upon a time
there were three friends: Cricket, Frog and
Mosquito. They would go to every place
together; they would do everything together.
One day Frog said: “Once the water
returns into the river, perhaps we’ll catch
a carp. Let us take up a net and go
searching. Mosquito said: “Yes, let’s go!
I’m certain that there are many". Cricket
said: “Come, let’s go, we will get and lack
for nothing".
They continued together. They said
someone should not precede another, because
else (literally: it is like that), all their
friendship would be spoiled. They reached
the bank of the water. Frog said: “Well,
Cricket. It is of a truth
we came to fish, but my sight will have to
watch out and see for us until the water
will be deep; thereafter until there are
carps. Till they aren’t, till then let us
go somewhere else. Till the water is deep,
till then let us go over there.
Questions:
a) What are
the names of the three friends?
b) What will
they do with the net? |
