Their was a forest named Bingle Bog. Their lived a frog who always use to sing with his unpleasant voice. Other animals hasted his voice but didn't care for them, he just use to keep singing so, other animal left with no choice but to listen his hasted voice. Animals of Bog use to throw stones, sticks and even insults him.
But one night in Bog their came a nightingale. She sat on the sumac tree and started singing with her sweet voice. Whole bog admired her singing. This made frog jealous. Than next night when nightingale completed her singing frog said that the sumac tree belongs to him. He is famous for his fine hollow sound. He had also wrote songs for Bog Trumpet off and on. The Nightingale asked her if he liked her song. The frog said it was not too bad. The technique was excellent but the song lacked in certain power. So, she asked him to train her. But bcoz of regular singing and practice she grown weak. And one she died due to vein burst. And than frog said that she was a foolish bird. she was much nervous and tense. She was very much prove to influence. She should known that one's song must be one's own.
And again the unpleasant voice of frog went on and on without any rival in the Bingle Bog.
