（单词翻译:单击）

  Two Frogs in the belly1 of a snake were considering their altered
circumstances.

  "This is pretty hard luck," said one.

  "Don't jump to conclusions," the other said; "we are out of the wet
and provided with board and lodging2."

  "With lodging, certainly," said the First Frog; "but I don't see
the board."

  "You are a croaker," the other explained.  "We are ourselves the
board."
