    No mention of helping her back pain, but it caused a lot of pain to 8 frogs though.

      I was going to ask the same thing, but her being hospitalised because of it probably answers that.

      She swallowed the frogs to catch the fly.

      I don’t know why she swallowed the fly.

        In fairness to her, she swallowed a spider to catch the fly. That should solve it.
