THE. FATE OF TWO FROGS.

d Two gay frogs, from inland bogs,
Had spent the night in drinking,
4 AS morning broke, and they awoke,
9 While yet their eyes were blinking,
4 A farmers pail came to the swale
And caught them quick as winking,
Ere they could gather scattered senses
& Or breathe prayer for past offenses,
The granger, grave-that guileless man
Had changed them in the milkman's can
The can filled up, the cover down,
/ They soon are started off to town.
The luckless frogs began to quake
And sober up cold milk shake,
They quickly find their breath will stop
Unless they swim upon the top.
They swim for life, and kick and swim
Until their weary eyes grow dim.
Their muscles ache, their breath grows short,
And, gasping, speaks one weary sport:
Say, dear old boy, it's pretty tough
To die so young, but I've enough
Of kicks for life, no more I'll try it;
was not raised upon milk diet"
"'Tut! tut! my lad the other cries,
"a frogs not dead until he dies,
Let's keep on kicking that's my plan,
We may yet see outside this can"
"No use no use, J" faint heart replied
Turned up his toes and gently died.
The braver frog, undaunted still,
- Kept kicking with right good will
Until, with joy too great to utter,
He found he'd churned a lump of butter.
And climbing on that junk of grease,
He floated with greatest ease.
MORAL:
When times are hard-no trade in town
Don't get discouraged and 60 down,
But struggle still, murmur utter,
A few more kicks may bring the butter.
