He ketched a frog one day and took him home and said he cal’lated to educate him; and so he never done nothing for three months but set in his back yard and learn that frog to jump. And you bet he did learn him, too. He’d give him a little punch behind, and the next minute you’d see that frog whirling in the air like a doughnut—see him turn one summerset, or maybe a couple, if he got a good start, and come down flat-footed and all right, like a cat....

—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)

He slipped his hand and ran away!
He hadn’t gone a yard when—Bang!
With open jaws, a lion sprang,
And hungrily began to eat
The boy: beginning at his feet.

To walken in the yard upon that morrow
That he had met the dream that I you told.
Womenes counsels been full ofte cold;
—Geoffrey Chaucer (1340?–1400)
