           SANGUINARY   FUN
         **********************
          
   Once upon a time a knot of ranids dwelt in a plash in a village.They were in a cheerful state of mind and passing their days comfortably
with oodles of insects to feed on.
  But one day,as the ill luck would have it,some 
village chaps bunched by the side of the plash for fun and frolic. While they were playing,
they saw the ranids hopping up and down the water.
         Soon the boys,out of sheer fun,began to 
cannonade the frogs with stones.While several
ranids were grievously bruised,some succumbed to their fatal injuries.The boys were thrilled and felt giddy pleasure to see this.
        when the lads did not stop,the oldest ranid,girding up his loins,popped his head out of the surface of water and rasped loudly,
   "Hey yobs,for God's sake,quit playing this 
sanguinary game.Don't you realise the incalculable harm being perpetrated on us by you guys without any rhyme or reason?What is fun to you is quietus to us."
     Better sense prevailed upon the boisterous yobs. They quit playing and dispersed quitely to their hogans.
