## Snapshot

A well-dressed frog who rows out on a rainy day hoping for a dish of minnows and gets far more than he bargained for from the pond's inhabitants.

## Who they are

Mr. Jeremy Fisher lives in a damp little house among the buttercups, untroubled by wet feet and pleased by rain, and he sets out with rod, basket, and macintosh to catch minnows for his dinner guests. His composure frays as a water-beetle tweaks his goloshes, a spiny stickleback replaces the expected fish, and something rustles ominously in the rushes. When a trout seizes him whole, only his macintosh saves him — and he returns home to serve his friends roasted grasshopper instead of fish.
