An' Donkey say:—"How can you run me? I have long tail an' long ear an' a very tall foot too, an' you a little bit a Toad. Let me measure foot an' see which one longer."
An' Toad say to Donkey:—"You no mind that man, but I must get the race."
An' Donkey get very vex about it.
An' Donkey say to the King:—"I ready now to start the race."
An' the King made a law that Donkey is to bawl at every miles that he might know where he got.
Now that little smart fellah Toad says to the King that he doesn't fix up his business yet, an' will he grant him a little time.
An' the King grant him a day, an' say to the two of them:—"Come again to-morrow."
An' Donkey wasn't agree, for he know that Toad is a very trickified thing.
But the King wouldn' hear, an' say:—"No, to-morrow."
Now Toad have twenty picny. An' while Donkey is sleeping, Toad take the twenty picny them along with him on the race-ground, an' to every mile-post Toad leave one of his picny an' tell them that they must listen for Mr. Donkey when he is coming. "An' when you yerry that fellah Mr. Donkey bawl, you must bawl too." An' Toad hide one of his picny behind every mile-post until him end the twenty mile.
