−
The blind Russian poet Eroshenko came to Beijing and complained: 'Lonely, like in a desert!' He thought of Burma, where insects sing everywhere at night. 'In Beijing there isn't even frog-croaking,' he sighed. 'Frogs do croak!' I said. 'In summer after rain, in the ditches.'

He bought tadpoles for the lotus pool. He preached self-sufficiency: plant cabbages, raise bees. Soon there were chicks. One morning a peddler brought ducklings. Eroshenko bought four -- eighty wen each.

The ducklings swam in the lotus pool, ate everything -- including all the tadpoles. 'They're gone, the frog babies,' said the children. 'Oh dear!...' he said.
