'For now the postmaster understood AU's heart and his very soul.

All the creatures in the bog applause hersongs, but the frog criticises her. However, she rightly assesses her song as having no divinity, but an element oforiginality, thus exhibiting her critical acumen. Though she is a talented singer, she does not know how to use her talent in a correct manner. She is ridiculed,exploited and tortured by the heartless and cruel trainer, who asks her to puff out her lungs with passion to followthe latest fashion of the stage. Surely, the nightingale was too gullible to understand her own talent and falls into the cunning clutches of thesinister frog. Her sad end could have been avoided if she knew how to use her talent.
