Toad and Frog

“Croak,” said the toad, “I’m hungry I think,
To-day I’ve had nothing to eat or to drink;
I’ll crawl to a garden and jump through the pales,
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.”
