A Zoological Curiosity

A Zoological Curiosity.

The school teacher wanted some information about frogs, so she set the class the task of supplying it.

This is what young Hori wrote—(says Colin Dickson):—

“What a queer bird the frog are, when he sit he stand almost, when he hop he fly almost, he ain't got no sense hardly either, he ain't got no tail hardly either, he sit on what he ain't got almost.”

Hori wasn't told, but the teacher liked his contribution better than any of the bunch.
