That hen and a half thing ... I'm used to hearing that end "how long will it take a monkey with a wooden leg to kick the seeds out of a dill pickle."

Or an elephant with a wooden leg to bore a hole in a bar of soap.

I've taught them to my kids.

Perhaps, but entertaining. Look at the number of posts in this thread. We're eating this stuff up.

Is the wall above ground or underground, relative to the ground?

Just like the eggs and four of their friends, yes. The frog escapes on his 28th jump and therefore does not slide back down the well.

The eggs? I'm not so sure about them. Maybe eggs were smaller in 1921.

If a hen and a half lays an egg and a half in a day and a half, how many and a half that lay better by half will lay half a score and a half in a week and a half?

Frogs only have two feet. Those other things are arms.
