Frog saves mouse in Indian floods *PIC*

Mouse plays leap frog to escape Indian floods 
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/ar...in_page_id=1811
There's nothing like a friend to help you out when times are tough... And this mouse found himself an unlikely ally when floodwaters devastated parts of northern India.
He hitched a ride to safety on the back of a friendly frog which ferried him back to the bank when the mouse was swept into a swollen river near Lucknow, the state capital of Uttar Pradesh.
The incident came as torrential monsoon rains and lightning storms lashed much of northern India and killed at least 13 people, raising the death toll to more than 200 from weeks of downpours.
Police spokesman Surendra Srivastava said 13 people have died in Uttar Pradesh, India's largest and most populous state, which has been hardest hit. Most were killed in lightning strikes, he added.
At least 76 people have died in Uttar Pradesh since the monsoon rains began at the start of June, with the other deaths in various places across the country.
In India's capital, New Delhi, heavy rain and wind caused traffic jams on some waterlogged main roads. Uprooted trees and stalled cars snarled traffic as commuters headed to work.
Floods, collapsed houses and lighting routinely kill hundreds of people during India's annual June-September monsoon season.

The frog was just faking the mouse out, so he could have a nice after flood meal. There's a moral in this story, I'm sure.

I am thrilled the deadly Indian monsoons could lead to a feel-good human interest story! What a great world.
