The Puzzle 10

THE SWIMMER

Somewhere on the bank of stream

where blackcurrants make a team

certain frog, just over there,

said this sentence to the hare:

“I can swim. I’ m the best 

from the East upon the West.

But you are a different one.

As the vampire fears the sun,

you fear water. Am I right ?


The hare answered her: “Not quite.”


Then the frog said to the hare:

“J will give you, I can swear,

something very, very nice

and so tasty ! Special prize !

You will get the cabbage, wow !,

if you jump to water now.”


Suddenly, discussing pair,

it means – the frog and the hare, 

saw the fox with hungry face

that found a delicious trace. 

They looked at each other, and 

the hare left his solid land,

because he jumped to the river

and he crossed it, like a beaver. 


A week passed and near the stream

where blackcurrants make a team 

the frog met familiar hare.

But she looked like a nightmare !

Why ! So .. because of hare’s swim

and the prize. Of course for him.

She told sadly: “So to speak, 

I am small, thin and so weak

How can I bring you, my dear,

giant cabbage over here ?

I don’t know, what to do ? Sorry !”


“Take it easy and don’t worry”

- the hare said –“So … give me sweet,

not the cabbage, but the beet.”
