ONE OF THE STRANGEST RACES IN THE WORLD was held recently in the village of Schoenberg, eight miles from St. Vith, Belgium. The contestants (one of whom is shown) had to cover a course of 70yds pushing a frog on a barrow. Each time the frog jumped off the barrow, the contestant had to put it back. During the race, each person had to put the barrow down and collect either a bar of chocolate to be eaten on the spot (if a child) or a glass of wine (if an adult), all the time keeping an eye on the frog. At the end of the course, the frog had to jump off the barrow without any prodding. The contestant who put up the best performance combined with the best time was the winner.
