r Optimist vs. Pessimist, Once on the edge of a pleasant pool, Under thebank where ’t was dark andool Where the willows over the water hung - And the grasses rustled and rushes swing Just where the creek flowed out of the bog There lived a mean and grumpy old fr?g, Who’<9 sit all day in the mud and soak, And just did nothing but croak and croak. When a blackbird hallooed down “I say, you know, what’s he matter there below, Are you in trouble or pain or what?” The frog said “mine is an awful lot, Nothing but mud and dirt and slime For ipe to look at, all the time.” “But you are looking down’’the blackbird said;. “Took at the blossoms overhead! Look at the bright,, bright summer skies, hook at the bees, and butterflies. Cheer up old fellow, why bless my soul! You are looking down a muskrat hole.” Still Iwith a gurgling sob and choke, The blamed old critter did nothing bit . Croak. A wise old turtle that, boarded near, Said'to the Blackbird, “Friend see here• Don’t sited no tears over him. He’s just a low down pessimist, cause he J wants to be. And I will tell you another thing that amt no joke, “Don’t shed lio tears over folk that croaki”
