Two frogs are sitting on a lily pad in the middle of a large pond. One of them is clutching a stick to beat off a dog. But there is no dog ... yet.

A charming illustrated children's book based on a fable told by Paramahansa Yogananda. Two frogs fall into a vat of milk and find themselves in a world of trouble. At first, the larger frog would seem to have the advantage, but the smaller frog possesses hidden inner resources. This tale of courage and determination -- often recounted by Paramahansa Yogananda -- is retold here for children. Filled with delightful pictures that bring the story vividly to life, it is designed to help children realize that nothing is impossible when they call upon their God-given inner strength.

In this version of a Russian fable about persistence, two frog sisters--one adventurous and impulsive, the other lazy and cautious--literally get in over their heads when they fall into a pail of milk.
