Thank you Everybody who answered!
On another frog topic - the two frogs in a pot with sour creme - one
gave up and another was kicking until it became a butter. It is
considered to be a Russian "folk tale" - the author unknown.
Anybody has anything on its sources and origin?
Are there any famous - really really famous and paradigmatic - tales
about the frogs in other cultures, including English / American?
Many thanks again,
Lily Alexander
