00:00Hungarian Folk Tales
00:19The Frog, the Mouse and the Sausage
00:30A long time ago, far far away, there lived a little frog and the frog met a mouse and a Sausage.
00:46All three began to talk and they decided to become best friends for life.
00:52The Mouse did all the cleaning, the Frog did all the shopping and the Sausage cooked all the food.
01:08And the three friends lived like this for a month and a day.
01:15The Sausage cooked such delicious food that they were always left licking their lips.
01:25And no matter how much they ate, it was never enough because the food was so delicious.
01:32The Sausage cooked such delicious food that they were always left licking their lips.
01:39And no matter how much they ate, it was never enough because the food was so delicious.
01:45When the month was over, the Sausage said,
02:03We should really take turns, so who is going to cook the food instead of me?
02:08Why not the Frog, they said.
02:12So then they made the Frog their cook.
02:25The Frog tried this kind of dish and that kind of dish and that kind of dish and this kind of dish.
02:31But he could never cook anything the others liked to eat.
02:35He carried on cooking for a couple of days, but then they asked him to stop.
02:53You are a very bad cook, Frog, they told him.
02:58The Frog felt very ashamed.
03:00Well then, Croak, who will do the cooking now?
03:04So the Sausage said,
03:06We'll make it the Mouse's job.
03:08So the Mouse became the cook.
03:15And it cooked for a couple of days, but it cooked so badly that it asked the Sausage,
03:21Why don't you cook instead of us?
03:23Yes, Croak, why don't you cook instead?
03:26The Frog asked.
03:28But the Sausage could only say,
03:30I had my turn of cooking, and if you don't want to cook, then we'll have to break this friendship up.
03:36But they begged and begged the Sausage until it finally agreed to cook for a couple of days more.
03:46The Frog thought it could learn to cook by watching the Sausage.
03:52Well, when the soup was nearly done, the Sausage pulled it aside,
04:05and when it thought nobody was looking, it jumped into the soup.
04:10Ah-ha! Croak!
04:27Now I know why the soup tastes so good!
04:30Because the Sausage always jumps into it first.
04:33Now I know how to cook!
04:35how to cook. Then the frog offered to cook for them again. Now I will be the cook, croak,
04:41I know how to cook. So the frog put a big pot of water on the stove and made a big fire
04:48to get it good and hot. And it cooked it and cooked it. When it thought that the contents
04:59of the pot had cooked enough, the frog didn't wait for it to cool but hopped right into the
05:05boiling hot soup. Well, the water was so terribly hot that it made the poor frog's skin all slimy
05:15and wrinkled. And that is where toads come from. Then the frog had to stop cooking because
05:23the hot soup had scalded it so. The mouse and the sausage laughed at the foolish frog when
05:29it told them the story and they decided not to be friends any longer. So they all went
05:36their separate ways and they all lived happily ever after.
05:59care.
