From walking up and down in the world
And going to and fro in it,
I come to report to you the things I have seen and heard.
I have seen trees standing on their heads,
I have heard frogs speaking.
You need not believe it, but listen.
I know a frog who lives in the desert.
He tells me strange things.
How can he live in the desert? you ask.
You may well ask.
I cannot tell you.
You would have to speak to the frog yourself.
There is a way he can live in the desert,
There is a way.
Why does he live in the desert? you ask.
You may well ask,
And I can tell you.
He is looking for a princess.
But there are no princesses in the desert you say.
This is true.
He goes there in order to be quite sure
of not finding one.
I told you, he tells me strange things.
