?Croak!? said the toad,

?I?m hungry, I think;

Today I?ve had nothing

To eat or to drink.


I?ll crawl to a garden

And jump through the pails,

And there I?ll dine nicely

On slugs and on snails.?


?Ho, ho!? quoth the frog,

?Is that what you mean?

Then I?ll hop away to

The next meadow stream;


There I will drink, and

Eat worms and slugs too,

And then I shall have a

Good dinner like you.?
