&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;Zim, Zim, Zim,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Over the water I skim.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Now dart in,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Now dart out,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Dash across&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And turn about.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;Oh, bother,&amp;rdquo; croaked a hoarse voice as with a plop, a large Bullfrog settled himself on a lily pad. &amp;ldquo;A little less darting and dashing might be better all round. It’s hot and dusty enough without your hovering above my head.&amp;rdquo;&lt;br&gt;
