Without hesitating, I carried the frog into the bathroom, soaped her up and shaved her hair off, after which I untied her, ran a little water into the bath and left her to spend the night there.

The next morning, I took her to Bashir in a small bowl with a tiny ladder inside it, so she could help forecast the weather for him (she would climb up the ladder if good weather was coming and sit at the bottom if the forecast was bad). Bashir thanked me and put the new bowl on a shelf, next to the one with the little fish.

Since that day, the two fish and the frog have not stopped talking to each other. The frog says: “Ribbit, ribbit!” and the fish: “Po—po!” and they go on like that for days on end!

One day I said to Bashir:

“How about you call the mouse in, so we can find out what they’re saying to each other?”

“Sure, if you like!” Bashir said.

And once more, he sang:

Little mouse

Little friend

Will you come this way…
