Nikola Tesla Books
But he quickly figured out how to overcome his problem. He found a suitable wire, bent it with the help of two stones, and sharpened its tip. Then he caught several bugs and went to the stream to catch frogs himself. He threw the hook into the water several times, but couldn’t manage to catch a frog. Finally, he found a solution. He removed the bug from the hook, then dangled the empty hook over a frog, slowly swinging it above it. The frog thought it was a bug that it would sweetly eat, so it tensed up and jumped to catch it. But as it jumped, it remained hanging, caught on the hook. That's how little Nikola caught many frogs and was very happy to have found a way to easily catch them.
Meanwhile, the other children had been casting their hooks for a long time, but they hadn’t managed to catch any frogs. When they finally saw how skillfully little Nikola was catching them, they too started to catch them in the same way. Then there came dark days for the frogs.
