那裡正有一隻青蛙浮在水面上。 

The man said, ' Are you talking to me? ' 
老先生問道：「你在跟我說話嗎？」 

The frog said, ' Yes, I ' m talking to you. 
青蛙回道：「對，就是我啊！」 
 
Pick me up then, kiss me and 
I ' ll turn into the most beautiful woman you have ever seen. 
將 我拿起來，吻我， 
我 就會變為你今生所見最漂亮的女人。 

I ' ll make sure that all your friends are envious 
and jealous because I will be your bride! ' 
我確定你的朋友是既羨慕又嫉妒，因為我即將成為你的新娘。 

The man looked at the frog for a short time, 
reached over, picked it up carefully, 
and placed it in his front pocket. 
老先生凝視青蛙片刻後伸出手，很小心地托起青蛙放入他前面的口袋裡。 

The frog said, ' What, are you nuts? 
Didn ' t you hear what I said? 
I said kiss me and I will be your beautiful bride. ' 
青蛙說：「怎麼，你瘋啦？你沒聽我說嗎？ 
我 說，吻我，然後我就會成為你美麗的新娘。」 
……
He opened his pocket, looked at the frog and said, 
'Nah, at my age I ' d rather have a talking frog. ' 

他撥開他的口袋，看著青蛙說： 
「算 了，以我這樣的年紀， 
  我寧願有一隻會說話的青蛙。」 

人 到達一個年齡，清楚甚麼該要，甚麼不該要，是一種 智慧 。
