hey friend......☺

here is your's answer ( cut out what you don't want)

It is about a frog who had a rather unpleasant voice but loved to sing. He used to croak all night much to the annoyance of neighbor animals who were tired of his incessant croaking and insulted him whenever he sang. But the frog was adamant and didn’t heed their criticism.

 He used to believe that his voice was very special and was insensitive to the distress he was causing others. But his arrogance was shattered one day by the singing of a nightingale on that particular tree ,whose melodious voice was seen by others as a welcome change from the frog’s distressing voice. They appreciated her melodious voice and rewarded her with thunderous applause and praises. The frog felt threatened by her presence and was jealous of all the admiration she was garnering. Hence, he hatched a plan to destroy her and throw her out of his way.

The next night the frog approached the nightingale and said that he owned the tree and has been singing there for a long time. When she asked his opinion of her singing he told her that it wasn't bad,but lacked strength.

 Since the nightingale had no confidence in her own ability, she accepted the tutelage of the frog and innocently compared him to Mozart. The frog took advantage of her innocence and amassed all the money he made through her concerts. While doing so, he experienced happiness due to the money he was earning but at the same time, he used to feel a sense of bitterness as praises were being heaped on the nightingale for her voice.

He made her rehearse day and night,even when it rained. He used to abuse her a lot on purpose and consequently broke down her morale. Her spirit took a beating and it began to get reflected in her singing.Consequently,the animals who paid to hear her sing no longer came to her concerts.Heartbroken,as she had grown to enjoy the applause and adoration of the other creatures. She refused to sing any longer but the frog won’t listen to her and coaxed her to practice. She was terrified of failing,so she tried one last time with all her strength but she puffed up, burst a vein and died.

The frog said to others that he tried to teach her but she was far too stupid and nervous to learn anything. 

After that the frog returned back to his old singing ways and continued to annoy the other creatures. He was satisfied that he no longer had to compete with someone more talented than him in singing

hoping it helps

thanks.......
