“Once upon a time was a woman, and she used to live in France.”
Once upon a time was a woman, and she used to live in France. One time she came to Ireland, and she brought frogs with her
One day she said to the man she was staying with that she was going to give him something extra nice for his dinner.
When he had tasted a bit of it, he asked what it was, and she told him that it was fried frogs on toast. He wouldn't eat any more. She said that was what she was going to eat.
"Well," said he, "I am not going out to gather frogs and fatten them, you can do it yourself."
