<h5 id="id03099" style="margin-top: 2em">THE FROG AND THE OX</h5>
<p id="id03100">"OH, FATHER," said a little Frog to the big one sitting by the side of
a pool, "I have seen such a terrible monster! It was as big as a
mountain, with horns on its head, and a long tail, and it had hoofs
divided in two."</p>
<p id="id03101">"Tush, child, tush," said the old Frog, "that was only Farmer White's
Ox. It isn't so big either; he may be a little bit taller than I, but
I could easily make myself quite as broad; just you see." So he blew
himself out, and blew himself out, and blew himself out. "Was he as
big as that?" asked he.</p>
<p id="id03102">"Oh, much bigger than that," said the young Frog.</p>
<p id="id03103">Again the old one blew himself out, and asked the young one if the Ox
was as big as that.</p>
<p id="id03104">"Bigger, father, bigger," was the reply.</p>
<p id="id03105">So the Frog took a deep breath, and blew and blew and blew, and swelled
and swelled and swelled. And then he said: "I'm sure the Ox is not as
big as ______" But at this moment he burst.</p>
