Once upon a time there was a mouse named Samantha. The mouse lived in Sri Lanka and had been friends with a frog named Matt for many years. They were the best of friends, and often times Thomas would carry Samantha on his back when they played games. Then one day there was a great storm. The rain pounded and poured on poor Samantha, whose newspaper house quickly became soggy and shreaded. With her fur matted and her freezing ears, the mouse began to squeak for help, as the waters around her house began to rise at a considerable rate. Just then Matt, who had been in love with Samantha, knew this could be the perfect oppurtunity to win her over. The frog lept from his lily pad towards the ear piercing squeak of the mouse. He found the mouse curled up in a ball, crying out for help. The frog quickly grabbed the mouse and swung her onto his back. He quickly turned to the mouse and yelled through the thunder and chaos of the storm, "I will let you ride on my back through the water if you promise to marry me." Sam, who was taken aback by Matt's feelings, was confused. So she quickly replied "No. For I am a mouse and you are a frog, that would be just weird." "Why?" replied the sad Matt. "Because you don't see humans marrying dogs, that would just be weird, so i cannot marry you." "What?" replied Matt. "Can you give me a reason as to why you won't marry me." "I have already given you a reason." "It's because I'm fat isn't it?" And with that Matt burst into tears. But Samantha was not one to sympathize and responded, "Well i feel you do need to cut down on those flies. But why can't you understand that because i'm a mouse and you're a frog we will never be socially accepted?" Matt replied, "You have a point Samantha. But i am so ugly and you are so pretty. i am fat, you are skinny. I am not wise, yet you are wise...you complete me Sam. And I love you!" "I am sorry Matt. But I do not love you. We are only friends. And that is all we will ever be!" Samantha was becoming angry now. She did not care about Matt, she wanted to get to safety. The water was very high now, and she could only see the tops of trees as Thomas swam past them. "Why dont you love me!" he shouted. "I need you to live! You are my everything!" "You will have to move on my friend. We will never be together." "I cannot move on!" Matt croaked, "I need you! Dont you understand!" The rain and water masked his crying. "I have to have you!" "NO!" Samantha was furious. "NO Matt you stupid toad! Get us to safety and we can talk about this later!" "If you do not love me, I have no reason to live." And with that Matt stopped moving. The water began to fill up around his body as he began to sink to the bottom on the the overflowing pond. "STOP Matt!" She cried. But it was too late.
