Based on a Panchatantra folk tale, the story is about a sly snake who wants to eat a group of frogs near a pond. The snake tells the frogs that he is weak and has poor eyesight because a man once cursed him. Delighted at getting the upper hand, the frogs take charge of the frail snake and ride on it to their hearts' content. Little do they know that they should devise an alternate plan in case the tables turn!

The Snake and the Frogs is a unique story. The retelling swings sympathy in favor of the snake.This simple story has many perceived morals. Always know your limit. Never exploit a giver. Every cloud has a silver lining. Man proposes-God disposes!
