The frog was a hated singer in the bog. He had a rough voice and the creatures living in the bog loathed his voice, still he kept on singing. But with the arrival of the nightingale the situation changed. His position was challenged. So, he posed as a Beat singer and offered to teach the nightingale. The nightingale, being foolish, accepted him as her teacher and tried to imitate his voice. With the result, her own voice became hoarse and uninspired. Other creatures also became tired of listening to her song. At this, the frog scolded her. In order to please the frog, she rehearsed a lot which ended in her bursting a vein and she died.
