The Frog Who Would A Wooing Go by Charles H. Bennett
"The Frog Who Would A Wooing Go" by Charles H. Bennett is a children's tale written during the mid-19th century. The book narrates the story of a young frog who defies his mother's advice and sets out on a journey to woo a mouse, highlighting themes of curiosity and the consequences of disobedience in a whimsical fashion. The story follows a young frog who, despite his mother's warnings about the dangers of
the outside world, embarks on an adventure to propose to a mouse named Mousey. Accompanied by a rat, the frog visits Mousey’s home for a friendly gathering filled with songs and merriment. Unfortunately, as they enjoy themselves, a predatory cat and her kittens invade the scene, leading to the demise of the rat and mouse. In a panic, the frog attempts to flee but eventually falls into a brook, where he meets an untimely end at the hands of a duck. The tale concludes with a moral on the importance of heeding parental guidance and the potential pitfalls of stubbornness. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
