Jean de la Fontaine invented his own fanciful details to bulk out his retelling of the fable in 1668. There the frog feigns friendship and invites a fat rat to a banquet, intending to drown and eat it while swimming across the marsh. Then a kite that has seen them struggling in the water carries both away for a feast of its own. As in the case of the emblems, the moral is that the trickster often falls into the trap of his making.

Wani misali mai kama da wanda ke cikin littattafan tambari ya zo tare da labarin La Fontaine a cikin Phryx Aesopus (1564) na mawaƙin Neo-Latin Hieronymus Osius .
