How Deep is It?

Margaret Read MacDonald recounts a few of her grandpa’s misadventures from his days of courting Margaret’s grandma. First, a folktale about Grandpa chatting up the frogs as he tries and cross the river between his house and Grandma’s house. Then a story about black snakes and what Indiana boys do to black snakes when they can find and catch one.
