The frog king was so completely taken in by the snake's talk that he did not understand his real motive.
One day, a big black snake arrived at the bank of the pond. He was very surprised to see the excited frogs hopping in joy, and riding on the snake's back.
The black snake enquired, "O friend! Why are you carrying frogs on your back? They are our food!"
The old snake explained everything to the black snake. He continued, "I have discovered many different tastes after eating many different frogs here. I have this easy way of life, and enjoying it here."
Over time, the snake had eaten even the larger snakes, and started eating the ministers and the king's relatives. Finally, one day, he ate the king also and thus, the entire frogs in the pond perished.
The wise indeed say:
