Two Neighbour-_Frogs_.
There were _Two Neighbour-Frogs_; One of them Liv’d in a Pond, and the
Other in the High-way hard-by. The _Pond Frog_ finding the Water begin
to fail upon the Road, would fain have gotten _T’other Frog_ over to her
in the Pool; where she might have been Safe; but she was wonted to the
Place, she said, and would not Remove. And what was the End on’t now,
but the Wheel of a Cart drove over her a while after, and Crush’d her to
pieces?
The MORAL.
_Some People are so Listless and Slothful, that they’ll rather lie still
and Die in a Ditch, then Stir one Finger to Help themselves out on’t._
