El renacuajo paseador
Rafael Pombo is a celebrated Colombian poet who lived from 1833-1912. The influence
of the time he spent living in the United States shows in his poems for children. This
poem / story is loosely based on the traditional song: “Froggie Went A-Courting”.
However his version has a tragic ending. Frog is invited by his neighbor Mouse to visit
Ms. Mouse. When they are both visiting her, and enjoying a refreshing drink and good
music, Mamma cat and her kittens decide to barge into the party with disastrous
consequences. Copy the patterns provided at the end of this chapter and use them on the
flannel board while you recite this poem. You can also use these patterns while singing
“Froggie Went A-Courting.” The song can be found at Dan Dutton’s Ballad Project,
http://dandutton.com/DanDuttonsBallad/froggy.html or listen to a traditional Arkansas
traditional version at the Wolf Folklore Collection,

El renacuajo paseador
(By Rafael Pombo. Adapted by Paola Ferate-Soto.)
El hijo de rana, Rinrín renacuajo
salió esta mañana muy tieso y muy majo
con pantalón corto, corbata a la moda
sombrero encintado y chupa de boda.
-¡Muchacho, no salgas¡- le grita mamá
pero él hace un gesto y orondo se va.
Halló en el camino, a un ratón vecino
Y le dijo: -¡Amigo venga usted conmigo!
Visitemos juntos a doña ratona,
habrá francachela y habrá comilona.
