water, and began to pelt them with stones. They had killed several of
them, when one of the Frogs, lifting his head out of the water, cried

said: "Kind Master, will you not let me put my head inside of the door?
The wind blows very cold to-night."

"Oh, yes," said the Man. "There is plenty of room."

So the Camel moved forward and stretched his head into the tent. "Ah!"
he said, "this is what I call comfort."

In a little while he called to his Master again. "Now if I could only
warm my neck also," he said.
