56 Before this Puff-Cheek was smiling and he answered; "stranger, you talk to much about the stomach. Is your way so much better than in the lake, is living under ground so wonderful. For does it offer a double life, of knowing the frogs by Zeus, leaping from land, into the water, having one body living in double rowed divided houses, and it is so easy for you to learn, for I can do it in my sleep, and my control over my feet make it so I never slip" Delighted in such a manner when we arrive at my house. "" 64
At once he (the mouse) hopped on his (the frog's) back and wrapped up his hands on him daintily like a noose. Then Puff-Cheek went lifting him up (in to the water). At first he (the mouse) was happy being in sight of land, but as they ventured into the dark murky waters, and the waves swelled over him.
68 He cried alot of tears and useless repentnecse, and pulled on puff cheeks hair and wrapped his feet around his waist, in his heart was an unacoustomed quiver, he was firmly grabbed by such a chilling fear, and he wished he was back on land. He placed his tail into the water and drag it along like a rudder. He was praying to the god's that they might bring him to land. The dark water dashed over him, he called out for much aid saying this he proclaimed these words from his mouth,

78 Then he stepped up (to put his weight) onto his back, not unlike the passionate bull of Zues that carried Europa through the waves. As he caried the mouse stretched out on his back to his home high up on hius yello body in the white water.

Then all of a sudden a water snake appeared. A bitter sight to both of them he held his neck upright above the water. Seeing this Puff Cheek dove into the water. Not noticeing what sort of companion he was about to leave behind for dead. He dove into the depths of the lake avoiding black death. The mouse was thrown off, he often sank underwater and came up flailing. It was not possible for him to escape death, as his fur beared it's full weight upon him. Dying in the water he said these words;
93 "Puff Cheek, You decietfully did not notice this thing you did. You threw me castaway from you body like a rock." You are not better than me back on land. The worst at practice, both in wrestling, and in the foot race, but you disperesed me into the water, the God's will have there justice.
99 Saying this he gave up in the water. Lickmeal looked down softly from the rising banks. He then howled a certain way, and sent a message to the mice so they could learn of his fate
