Description of manuscript content:

The text describes a group of frogs who lived in a large pond with freedom and happiness. One day, they assembled to select a leader who would govern and protect them against dangers. They all agreed to select a frog named Konta as their head. One day, a cobra pretended to befriend Konta until he eventually entrusted. Konta allowed the cobra to enter the pond. The cobra ate one frog every day until no frog was left in the pond; and finally the cobra also swalloped up Konta.
