The Crow, The Frog & The Well

Chapter : 2

The crow started asking her to roam  with him as the well seemed boring place to meet daily. After million of requests the lady frog said ‘yes’. But the problem was that she didn’t have feathers so she couldn’t fly like the crow.
After discussing the same thing for some days, the crow's brain clicked and asked the lady frog to sit on his back as he could handle her weight.
'But........,' the lady frog started.
'No if, no but.' Let me weigh you,' the crow said hanging her in the air holding her hands.
'Ohhh....,' the crow uttered.
'What happened?' the frog asked.
'Nothing, you are as light at feather,' the crow said smiling.
'Don't lie, I've become a little bit fatter.' The lady frog smiled looking towards her each part of her body scanning the fats hanging around her belly and other body parts, as if crow was lying about her weight.
Yes, the dude crow lied. He was cool and expert in lying, so he made her believe that her figure was zero size, beautiful and light of course. On the other hand they had become best friends so no one of them could refuse to each other's request.
The lady frog jumped smiling on the back of the crow and the crow was all set to fly opening his feathers vibrating them frequently.
'Enjoy the ride, Honey,' the voice reached the lady frog's ear and she started looking downwards as the crow was about to take off. She saw a young lady frog, who was one of the frogs that were staring continuously at the lady frog and the crow, as if both of them were going to do the world's worst thing by flying in the air. The old crows, who never forgot to raise their eyebrows were also standing and watching the lady frog and her best friend.

'Love you, bye,' she said to the single well wisher (the another young lady frog!) waving her hand  sitting on the back of the crow, who had already started his flight taking off the boundary wall of the well. The lady frog started looking here and there sitting there on the natural plane. she started looking downward bending her head down but pulled it back as most of the things (on the earth, of course!) were looking very small and tiny. Her place and the frogs of her community were no more visible now. She had never seen the fields, villages, towns, rivers, lakes, trees with so many jumping monkeys and mountains before. She was feeling amazing.  Up in the sky, she was feeling very free. There were no old frogs to raise their black turned into white eyebrows. There were no lady frogs who always wanted to throw her down off the head lady position. She was simply very happy there.

'Hey, how are you feeling ?' the crow asked the lady frog bending his head back moving his eye balls to see his best friend.
'Are you duffer?' she shouted forcing his head pushing it forwards.
'You would kill me for sure,' she continued.
'Okay, I won't turn back,' the crow said taking a sharp turn accelerating his feathers pacing his speed to maximum.
'What the f*@k is this,' the lady crow shouted grabbing the crow's back tightly when he was taking sharp turns to enjoy his feathers. (Might be he would have been trying to impress the lady frog by showing his flights!) After enjoying some fun with his feathers, he rested his feathers and came down to a mountain top and asked the lady frog to get down off his back.
'Nope, I'm not. I wanna fly more,' she said holding his back and feathers' root tightly.
'But,' the crow started.
'What but? You've told no, 'no but, no if in friendship. Start flying,' she ordered  banging his head quickly. The crow started the flight spreading his feathers again off the mountain.

The lady frog was heavy enough so the crow wanted to take rest haulting his flight for some time, but the lady frog was enjoying the most adventurous and wonderful ride and wanted to continue it happily so he could not refuse her. After all they were the best friends.
'Hey, look at the lake,' the lady fog said pointing his index finger towards a lake in the middle of the wheat fields. Well, the crow was showing everything on the earth and above it to the lady frog but now scene was seeming to be changed! The crow stopped moving his feathers up and down, to and fro taking a turn heading downward towards the earth keeping his feathers opened and calm.
'You might be hungry and thirsty,' she asked the crow.
'Yup, I'm dying to have something as mouses in my stomach are jumping recklessly, as your heavy weight and my extra flight made me burn my all calories in this ride.
'Shut up, I'm not heavy, huh,' the lady frog said jumping into the lake opening her hands and legs and started swimming in the cold water in the sunny weather. The crow looked at her and smiled thinking 'she is happier now'. He started looking for some food walking entering into the wheat field.

After gathering some food from the lake and the field, they were about to start their lunch together (for the first time, of course!) on the half wet bank of the lake under nice shining sun.
'Hey, look at them,' some unknown voices started entering into their ears as they took the first byte of their lunch.
Yes, some frogs and fishes were noticing their moves standing still in the lake water near its bank.
'Hey, come on guys,' the crow called them to join the lunch.
'Nope, you'll eat me up,' one small fish said looking at them and the food leaking her lips with her tongue.
'Nope, I won't,' the crow said sipping the colorful drink.
'Don't talk to him. He is an extra black crow. He seems to be very clever and rude to me. No need to go near him,' One lady fish said holding the hand of the smallest fish tightly as the small fish was gazing at the food continuously.
