There’s an old story about a frog
who fell into a wagon rut
and couldn’t hop his way out.
His froggie friends tried in vain
to pull him out.
When that rescue effort failed,
they had to abandon their friend.
The next day
all the frogs were playing
and who should appear
but the frog they had given up for lost.
“How’d you get out of that rut?,”
they all croaked at once.
“Ribbit,” he replied.
“Saw a wagon coming straight at me
and I didn’t have any choice.”
