That frog was too large for the snake.

One of my "jobs" as a child was catching the frogs that had gotten got up in sieve at the pool and then taking them to the glass candy case where he kept the snakes and feeding them to them. Note: there was no candy in there!

For a young girl who looked up to her older brother, this was an experience I enjoyed. circle of life.
