Answers
Answer:
Once upon a time there was a presumptuous frog who lived in a place called Bingle Bog. This frog croaked from night to morning in his unpleasant voice. Though the other creatures did not like his voice, they had no choice but to listen to him as all complaints, pleas and protests fell on deaf ears.
Then one night a nightingale came to the Bog. She sang her melodious song and all the creatures of the Bog listened to her, mesmerised. They asked her to sing again and again. The nightingale continued to sing because she was unused to such applause.
The next night when the nightingale was about to sing, the possessive frog told her that he owned the tree she sang on. He claimed to be a music critic with a noted baritone. Impressed by the frog’s credentials, and unsure of her own ability, the nightingale asked the frog to comment upon her song.
The arrogant frog told her that she lacked training and offered to teach her for a fee. The nightingale, excited and pleased, began training under the frog. He began to charge an admission fee from those who came to hear the nightingale. The frog made her practise in all kinds of weather for long hours.
Soon the nightingale’s voice began to lose its melodious quality. The creatures of the Bog lost interest in her. The bird became more and more sorrowful as her popularity decreased. The frog rebuked her sharply, adding to her misery. When the frog told her to puff up her lungs and sing, the bird tried to follow his advice, puffed up her lungs, burst a vein and died.
The frog once again became the unrivalled singer of the Bog.

The Frog and the Nightingale Summary in English
This poetry describes how a frog exploits a nightingale to earn the money. It shows how the bad training given by the frog causes the death of the nightingale.
Once upon a time, a frog croaked in the forest called Bingle Bog. Other animals hated his voice but all are forced to listen. The loud and unpleasant voice of the frog continued from the sumac tree. All efforts were wasted, but not able to stop him from his strong determination. One night, one nightingale came there at the sumac tree and started singing. Everyone in the bog clapped and admired her melodious voice. But the frog feared that now no one would hear him anymore. The frog was not happy with the nightingale.
Next night as she was ready to sing, the frog interrupted and introduced himself as the owner of the tree. Frog told that he is famous for his splendid baritone. the frog said that her song was not too bad but was very long. The technique was good but the song lacked power. Nightingale flattered with his reputed critic about her art. Frog took her into confidence and made an evil plan to get rid of her.
He became her trainer and made her sing excessively for many hours. He started pointing out her mistakes and drawbacks unnecessary and falsely. The nightingale received a response from miles gathered around to listen to her sweet song, and the frog took the money as an admission fee. But the strain of training and singing was too much for such delicate and innocent bird. She grew sad and tense. The frog scolded her badly and said that she could not sing sweetly anymore. The nightingale had to bear all such exploitation. She lost the sweetness of her voice. Animals stopped coming to hear her singing at the concerts.
The frog was very angry due to her failure. He asked her to puff her lungs to show the power and effort. The innocent nightingale puffed up, but her vein burst and finally she died. The frog said that she was nervous, tense and prone to influence. The frog got the victory and started his unpleasant singing in the Bingle Bog.
