One day, Frog said to Snake, "My friend I want to visit my mother next week. Would you like to go with me?" "I would be happy to go," Snake answered. "Very good, then let's prepare for a long journey," replied Frog. "We also need to find someone to look after our homes while we are away," she added. They asked Monkey to help since he was good and responsible. Monkey accepted. During the next few days, the two friends were busy making arrangements for the journey. Frog collected white ants and packed them in a big sack. Her mother loved to eat white ants. The day arrived and the two friends set off at dawn. Soon they reached the thick forest. As they entered the forest, a group of angry squirrels gathered to attack them. Snake was so afraid that she started shaking. She hissed and hissed but the fierce squirrels kept on coming closer. Just as the squirrels were about to attack them, Frog croaked very loudly. The squirrels got such a fright that they ran away. When the two friends finally arrived at Frog's mother's place, they were hungry and tired.
