余憶童稚時，能張目對日，明察秋毫。見藐小微物，必細察其紋理，故時有物外之趣。………一日，見二蟲鬥草間，觀之，興正濃，忽有龐然大物，拔山倒樹而來，蓋一癩蝦蟆也。舌一吐而二蟲盡為所吞。余年幼，方出神，不覺呀然驚恐。神定，捉蝦蟆，鞭數十，驅之別院。
What I thinking is about, there it's a frog that ate the bugs. And somebody pick it to another place. Where the words come from a Chinese textbook in junior high school in Taiwan.
This is in quasi-Classical Chinese and taken from 浮生六记.
Why not browse the translation by Lin Yutang?
