Abstract
This version sets the situation in unusual fashion. Apparently, this old toad is a long-time dweller in this forest. Challenged by a rabbit to explain how they are to know that he is a good doctor, he answers You just believe what I say, that is all. A fox challenges him to make his own warts disappear first. The moral is slightly off, I think: If you would convince others, then begin by convincing yourself. This frog is the only one who is convinced!
