The citizen. (Frederick City, Md.) 1895-1923, 1906-07-27

One day a couple of my friends
were sitting on the river bank when
they heard the cry of a frog in dis
tress. Following the direction from
which the sound came, they discov-
cred a snake in the act of swallow
ing a frog. Just then another frog,
evidently attracted by the Distress
ing cries of its mate in jeopardy,
hoped up to the scene Of action. For
a moment it sat blinking at the en-
emy; then leaped forward, seized the
snake by the neck and tugged it into
the river The water quickly poured
between the snakes distended jaws
and it was of course compelled to re-
lease its victim in order to escape
drowning. This 1t promptly did, and
the liberated frog swan away with
its plucky mate, while the bafled
snake wriggled as best it could to the
shore.
