In "The Tale of Mr. Jeremy Fisher", a frog who lives in a slippy-sloppy house alongside a pond collects worms on a rainy day, and sets off on a lily-pad boat to go fishing. During this trip, he encounters all sorts of obstacles, including a large trout who tries to devour him.

The eighth of Beatrix Potter's 22 charming tales of animals in amusing situations, "The Tale of Mr. Jeremy Fisher" has delighted children since its release in 1906.
