Jenna was in the kitchen cooking when her phone rang. She couldn't be bothered to put down what she was doing, so she stretched her free hand at the phone and then slid it between her shoulder and head, straining her neck in the process.

“Hello? Who is this? Jenna inquired, her voice strained because of the pain.

"Hello, Jenna, it's Hilda," a woman on the other end of the call replied. "Are you okay, you sounded a little odd?"

"I sound odd? What exactly do you mean?" Jenna was perplexed.

"You sounded like you swallowed a whole frog or something," Hilda responded.

"There’s no way that’s true?!" Jenna blurted out, further straining her neck and voice.

"I'm not making this up.” Hilda claimed, "It sounded exactly like what I described."
Jenna was depressed after hearing what her friend had stated. Did she really sound like a frog?

"Here's an idea: record your voice and listen to it; you'll understand what I meant earlier," Hilda offered suggestion.

“Fine…”

Jenna hung up after asking Hilda why she had called and began recording her voice. She was astounded by how strange her voice sounded when she played back the recording.

Jenna chuckled to herself after hearing how she sounded.

“I really do sound like swallowed a frog,” Jenna said to herself. "I think I hurt my throat more than I thought, I should see a doctor tomorrow."
