Napoleon's Frog

Шуткой острой любил граф Кутузов Подразнить отступавших французов. «Бонапарт Напольон Съел с лягушкой бульон». Выдал как-то экспромтом Кутузов.

А. Дубровский, 2011

Prince Kutuzov liked to tease the retreating French with the acute joke. "Napoleon Bonaparte ate the soup with the frog. " Once he said impromptu. (makeshift translation of A. Dubrovski's poem).

I'll hang with you guys

There was an Old Man of the East, Who gave all his children a feast; But they all ate so much, And their conduct was such, That it killed that Old Man of the East.

E.Lear, 1846
