A very sad story and tongue twister about a toad in love.

An advanced level practice with the dreaded end-of-word consonant clusters.

Step one. I don't give you anything written down. Listen to the poem (vid up top) and copy it down in both normal and phonetic script. Mark all aspriated end-of-word consonants and clusters. Other directions are same as before. Perfect first than fast. Couple last clues to keep it fun:

The story is well over a hundred years old.
The story uses "poetic prose". Its good grammar, but not normal. Expect the unexpected.
The story is a very very sad love story, so bring tissues or some comfort if you are the emotional sort. Poor dude.
