"279. 「苗代にひきがえるが入って卵を産んで困ります」と願う者に対して、金光様は、「よそでは封じると言うが、うちでは封じない。かえるに、あぜで遊んでもらうようにすればよい。うちの田に入らないようにすれば、よその田に入るから」と教えられた。"
— Konko Daijin

A person told Konko Sama, "I am distressed by the frogs that come into my rice nursery to lay their eggs." Konko Sama imparted, "Other people try to keep frogs out, but I don't. Let the frogs hop around the pathways of your paddy. If you keep them out of your paddy, they will enter other people's paddies." — (II Konko, Ieyoshi 2)
