Queen Meng Chiang-nu and her family were very happy but their kingdom of Fukien was small and was invaded by the neighbouring kingdom. So the King called a meeting with his ministers and subjects because their army was very small. The frog also came to the meeting.

No one had a solution then the frog proposed to a plan to fight. Queen Meng Chiang-nu could speak the tongue of animals she explained it to the King who ordered everyone to listen to the frog. The soldiers built a huge coal fire, the frog gobbled up the hot coals. Again and again the soldiers stoked the fire with coals and the frog gobbled up the hot coals.

The frog’s belly became bloated up like a huge balloon, it jumped up and sat upon the city gate .The kings army stayed inside the city. The invaders came right upto the city walls but the frog forbade the army to fight back.
