Mud turkle settin' one de end o' dat log; Sing fer de tadpole a-turnin' to a frog, Sing to Br'er B'ar a-pullin' lak a mule, Sing to Br'er Tearpin a-makin' 'im a fool:—
"Oh, Br'er Rabbit! Yo' eyes mighty big!" "Yes, Br'er Turkle! Dey're made fer
to see." "Oh, Br'er Tearpin! Yo' house mighty
cu'ous!" "Yes, Br'er Turkle, but it jest suits me."
"Oh, Br'er B'ar! You pulls mighty stout." "Yes, Br'er Turkle! Dat's right smart
said!" "Right, Br'er B'ar! Dat sounds bully
good, But you'd oughter git a liddle mo' pull
in de head."
