I Gadekæret er der to springvand, et stort et, hvis væsentligste bidrag vist er at ilte vandet og holde det frostfrit for de mange ænder og andre fugle, der bor der, og så en frø.

In Helsinge, MotherOwl's bigger town, where she goes shopping, catches the train, receives PE, and all the other things that do not happen in her own little village, we have a pond.
In this village pond all of two fountains are coexisting. A big one, whose main aim is to aerate the water and keep the frost at bay for all the birds living in this pond. The other one is a frog.
For nyligt har det store springvand fået en ny fin dyse så det springer med syv mindre stråler i stedet for en stor. Og det ser jo smukt ud.

The big fountain has recently had a new nozzle so that it now runs with seven small jets of water instead of one big one. And this is fine.
Men den stakkels frø. Den har det ikke godt. Den trænger til at blive vasket noget så grundigt. Den trænger måske også til en ny dyse, for den vandstråle, der plejer at stå ud af munden på frøen, er væk.
Og sidst men ikke mindst, så trænger den altså til at det fine nye springvand fylder Gadekæret mere op, så kun stenen og frøen er synlige, og ikke det grimme fundament.

But the poor frog. It does not feel well I suppose. It is in need of a thorough scrubbing. It might also need a new nozzle, because the jet of water normally spewing from its mouth is either totally missing or reduced to a trickle.
And last but not least the fine new fountain needs to fill up the pond a few inches or more, so that only the frog and its stone can again be seen. Not the ugly stones below.

Poor, poor frog. I hope it gets the 'vetinary' care it needs. Soon.
SvarSletLet's hope Mr. Frog gets some TLC soon.
