The Quack Toad Story

An old Toad once informed all his neighbors that he was a successful doctor. In fact he could cure anything. The Fox heard the news and hurried to see the Toad. He looked the Toad over very carefully.

“Mr. Toad,” he said, “I’ve been told that you cure anything! But just take a look at yourself, and try some of your own medicine. If you can cure yourself of your blotchy skin and your old gait, someone might believe you. Otherwise, I think you should try some other profession.”
