Nursery Rhyme. DXI. Natural History.

    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.
