Three Minute Stories — Mr. Hoppy Frog

MR.

HOPPY FROG

Mr. Hoppy Frog Was very, very funny;

Mr. Hoppy Frog He had not any money.

So he could not buy A squeaky woolly dog;

It made him sigh and sob and cry, Poor Mr. Hoppy Frog!

Going down the lane, He met with Mistress Kitty;

When she saw his pain, Her heart was filled with pity.

“Mr. Hoppy Frog, Oh!

do not weep for that!

To buy your woolly dog I’ll sell my Sunday hat.

” [Illustration] Bowing down before, Said Mr. Hoppy Frog, “I love you even more Than squeaky woolly dog!

Come to church with me, And wear your Sunday hat;

And we’ll through life be Frog and wife, Sweet Mistress Kitty Cat!
