Two Frogs
Our Daily Bread, November 29
Two frogs fell into a deep cream bowl; Said the other frog with a merry grin, And as he swam, though ever it seemed, The moral, you ask? Oh, it's easily found!The one was wise, and a cheery soul.
The other one took a gloomy view
And bade his friend a sad adieu.
"I can't get out, but I won't give in;
I'll swim around till my strength is spent,
Then I will die the more content."
His struggling began to churn the cream
Until on top of pure butter he stopped,
And out of the bowl he quickly hopped.
