Dear Lily,

The author is Vsevolod Garshin, the title of the tale - "Lyagushka-Puteshestvennitsa", in English it is probable "Frog the Traveller" ;)

Dear Seelangers,

Could anyone remind me of the well known tale - who authored it, etc.?

It is about a frog that decided to fly south with the geese by holding  
a twig in her mouth, carried by two helpful birds. Naturally she was  
supposed to keep silent, but could not help herself and started  
talking, and therefore fell down.

Who is the author? It it a folk tale?

Many thanks,

Lily Alexander
