In ten minutes, it brings the book back and gets out two more. Again the librarian lets it. In another ten minutes, it returns and takes out three books after returning the others. Intrigued, the librarian asks his friend to cover for him, and he follows the chicken. It goes down the street, round the corner to the edge of a pond, where it shows the books to a frog, which looks at each book and says, "Reddit, reddit. A frog was mired deep in the rut of an old muddy road. As hard as they tried, his friends couldn't pull him out. After exhausting all their efforts, they sadly gave up and left. But the next day they found their friend by the pond, joyful and very pleased with himself. "How did you get free?" they asked in astonishment. "We thought you couldn't get out of that rut." "I couldn't," explained the frog, "but a truck was coming, and I had to." A grandfather and his small grandson are walking in the park. GRANDSON: "Make like a frog granddad." GRANDDAD: "What?" GRANDSON: "Make like a frog." GRANDDAD: "Why?" GRANDSON: "I was talking to grandma and she told me she would take me to Disneyworld after you croaked." A group of junior-level executives were participating in a management training program. The seminar leader pounded home his point about the need to make decisions and take action on these decisions. "For instance," he said, "if you had five frogs on a log and three of them decided to jump, how many frogs would you have left on the log?" The answers from the group were unanimous: "Two." "Wrong," replied the speaker, "there would still be five because there is a difference between deciding to jump and jumping." A man went fishing one day. He looked over the side of his boat and saw a snake with a frog in its mouth. Feeling sorry for the frog, he reached down, gently took the frog from the snake, and set the frog free. But then he felt sorry for the snake. He looked around the boat, but he had no food. All he had was a bottle of bourbon. So he opened the bottle and gave the snake a few shots. The snake went off happy, the frog was happy, and the man was happy to have performed such good deeds. He thought everything was great until about ten minutes passed and he heard something knock against the side of the boat. With stunned disbelief, the fisherman looked down and saw the snake was back with two frogs! A young woman walking in the park one day accidentally stepped on a frog. She picked it up and took it home. That night, she put it under her pillow and the next morning the frog was gone and there was a handsome young man sleeping beside her. She couldn't believe it....Neither did her mother and father!
