“The toad, which is an efficient bug hunter in the garden, is said by the Ohio Farmer to eat⟳ honey bees with an equal relish, and bee keepers are advised to arrange⟳ the lighting boards of the hives in such a manner as not to be accessible to his toadship.”

“[H]e had, in fact, happened to discover⟳ his toadship just in the act of making his annual toilet. The old skin wrinkled up more and more, till it was completely divided into two halves; the toad pulled out first one foot, then another, just as a boy pulls his arm out of a jacket, until at last⟳ the feat was accomplished.”
