The Frog Who Wished To Be As Big As The Ox.

    By Jean de La Fontaine



    There was a little Fog
    Whose home was in a bog,
    And he worried 'cause he wasn't big enough.
    He sees an ox and cries:
    "That's just about my size,
    If I stretch myself - Say Sister, see me puff!"

    So he blew, blew, blew,
    Saying: "Sister, will that do?"
    But she shook her head. And then he lost his wits.
    For he stretched and puffed again
    Till he cracked beneath the strain,
    And burst, and flew about in little bits.
