A well was full of frogs. The king of frogs was fed up of treachery by some of his relatives. One day he came out of the well to search for some means to finish his enemies. The frog saw a cobra on a nearby tree. He befriended the cobra and asked for his help to finish off enemies. The cobra lapped this opportunity to feast on frogs. The frog king took an assurance from cobra that he would kill only those frogs marked as enemy. After sometime all the enemy frogs were finished. Then cobra asked the frog king to arrange for more food otherwise he would kill all frogs at one go. Now the frog king had no other way. Everyday he started sending off one of his relatives to the cobra. Finally it was the turn of the son of the frog king. The frog king was very sad. At last only the frog king was left. On being asked to arrange meal for cobra the frog said that he would go to another pond and entice other frogs to come there. Once the frog was very far from the cobra he ran faraway never to return.
