4.  Frog in bingle bog
 Once upon a time a frog croaked in bingle bog
every night. His voice was very and unpleasant.
He croaked in a loud noise continuously
throughout the night.
 A nightingale comes there and sings
 One night in the clod moonlight, a nightingale
came there. She perched on the sumac tree and
began to sing melodiously. All the creatures in
the bog cheered and clapped her song, ducks
swam to listed to her. Toads herons teals and
toddlers also reached there to listed to
 Her song when she ended. They all clapped.
 Frog meets her

5.  Next night the frog went to the nightingale and haughtily introduced
himself as the owner of the tree. He also said that he had long been known
for his splendid baritone.
 Nightingale praises him
 The nightingale felt flattered that such a great critic of art had discussed
her art of singing. The frog, however added that she would merely remain
a beginner without his proper training herself.
 Training starts
 Fired by art and adulation she sang so sweetly that animals from miles
flocked there.
 Sweetly those animals from miles flocked there. Soon she became famous.
Among the birds were many titled ones. Owl of sandwich, duck
of India began to listen.
 Conclusion
 The frog called her stupid and said that she was prone to influence. He
told that he had tried to teach her. But she was a stupid creature. She was
nervous and tense also. He also added that she should have known that her
song must be one’s own like that of his. And he was, again, the undisputed
king of bog. He sang confidently in the bingle bog.

23. 1. Alliteration - toads and teals, Bingle bog , crass
cacophony
2. Metaphor- The frog has been compared to a Mozart,
a famous Austrian music composer who has come to
help her
3. Antithesis- (using 2 opposite words in the same line)-
With a joy was both sweet and bitter.
4. Repetition- Ko-ash Ko-ash, awn & awn
5. Irony (saying something and meaning the opposite)-
(frog says) - Your song must be your own.
6. Personification- Here Animals And Birds Have Been Personified
And They Have Been Given Human Like Characters

24. The frog has a boastful and patronizing nature. He also
portrays jealousy as the nightingale surpasses him in
term of singing and admiration from a crowd who
loathed his voice.
He is also condescending, and scolds the nightingale in
every mistake she makes in an attempt to lower his
rivals self-confidence & self esteem. He succeeds in
doing so.
He is also shown to be money minded, with a capitalistic
character (selling the nightingale's song for money).

25. The nightingale has a shy or timid nature. She is also
naive and innocent, as she believed in a stranger (Frog)
could actually help her. She is also extremely trusting,
having failed to see the jealous motive of the frog who
destroy here mentally and physically. She also doesn't
fight for her rights, as she was forced to sing in bad
weather. She also gets addicted to the crowd's
applause.
In the end, it's her innocence and a weak character
along with lack of self-confidence that leads to her
death
