“A duck and drake quarrel over the swallowing of a frog, putting him to a variety of tortures. In the end the frog escapes where they can't follow, but where they do succeed in getting their heads stuck till a poulterer carries them off. The frog was laid up for three weeks, but now, thank goodness, he is able to smoke his pipe.”
