Once in Japan there lived two frogs, one of whom made his home near the town of Osaka, while the other lived in Kyoto.
36 , they didn’t know each other. Both
of them liked to see a little of the world: the Kyoto frog wanted to visit Osaka, and the Osaka frog wished to go to Kyoto.
So one morning they
37. However, the journey was more
38 than they had expected, for they didn’t know much about traveling. Half-way between the two towns, at the top of a mountain, the two frogs
39 each other! Soon they fell into
40 .
“What a(n)
41 we are too small, ” said the Osaka frog. “Otherwise, we could see both towns from here, and
42 if it is worth our going on.”
“Oh, that is easily
43 ,” replied the Kyoto frog. “We have only got to stand up on our hind (后面的) legs, and hold on to each other
44 we won’t fall down, and then we can both look at the towns we are
45 to.”

46 the Osaka frog; he stood up and put his front paws on the
47 of the other frog, who had risen also. There they both stood, stretching themselves as
48 as they could. The Kyoto frog turned his nose towards Osaka, and the Osaka frog, towards Kyoto, but the
49 frogs forgot that when they stood up, their eyes were in the backs of their heads, and that
50 their noses pointed to their destinations, yet their eyes looked at the places
51 which they had come.
“Dear me!” cried the Osaka frog. “Kyoto is
52 like Osaka. It is certainly not worth such a long journey.”
“If I had known that Osaka was only a
53 of Kyoto I should never have traveled all this way,”
54 the frog from Kyoto. Then they started off for their
55 again.
