"Nach den sieben Frosch-Gedichten

Habe ich noch zwei Geschichten,"

Sprach Artemis und fing dann

Sogleich zu erzählen an.

The Frog and The Crow

 - Anonymus -

A jolly fat frog
Lived in the river swim O!
A comely black crow
Lived on the river brim O!
"Come on shore,
Come on shore,"
Said the crow to the frog
And then O!
"No you'll bite me,
No you'll bite me,"
Said the frog to the crow
Again O!

"O there is sweet music
On yonder green hill O!
And you shall be a dancer,
A dancer in yellow,
All in yellow,
All in yellow,"
Said the crow to the frog
And then O!
"All in yellow,
All in yellow,"
Said the frog to the crow
And then O!

"Farewell, ye little fishes,
That in the river swim O!
I'm going to be a dancer,
A dancer in yellow."
"O beware!
O beware!"
Said the fish to the frog
And then O!
"I'll take care,
I'll take care,"
Said the frog to the fish
Again O!

The frog began a swimming,
A swimming to land O!

And the crow began jumping
To give him a hand O!
"Sir, you're welcome,
Sir, you're welcome,"
Said the crow to the frog
And then O!
"Sir, I thank you,
Sir, I thank you,"
Said the frog to the crow
Again O!"But where is the sweet music
On yonder green hill O?
And where are the dancers,
The dancers all in yellow?
All in yellow,
All in yellow,"
Said the frog to the crow
And then O!
"Sir, they're here,
Sir, they're here,"
Said the crow to the frog -
GULP!
