The Girl and the Frog
THE LANGUAGE OF ANIMALS
THERE was once a man who had a son named Jack, who was very simple in mind and backward in his thought. So his father sent him away to school so that he might learn something; and after a year he came back from school.

And Jack said, "I know what dogs mean when they bark."
