Rat wants Frog's help to swim across the river. Frog ties a rope to Rat's tail and his own leg to help Rat swim. However, Frog pulls Rat underwater, frightening him. An eagle then swoops down and grabs both Frog and Rat. Rat bites the eagle to make it let them go. They fall into the river but Frog swims them to shore. Frog and Rat thank each other for their help in dangerous situations, learning that kindness is reciprocated.
