A little frog told his father about a large animal. Father Frog was sitting at the edge of a small pool of water.
‘Vader, ik heb een vreselijk monster gezien!’ zei het kikkertje. ‘Het was zo groot als een berg. Het had horens op zijn kop en een lange staart.’
“Father, I saw a terrible monster!” said the little frog. “It was as big as a mountain. It had horns on its head and a long tail.”
