Down by the Old Swimming Hole at Elephant Rock, Frog and Toad are hosting their annual Fall Festival. Joined by Turtle, a grass snake, a pair of dragonflies, and a field mouse, they share stories, tell jokes, sing songs and have good laugh at Toad's funny swimsuit. Later that night, Frog announces that he has a favorite cipher to share among his friends. He says:
“ GSRI GBVR TSGU LIGB ULFI LMVS FMWI"
"VWMR MVGB LMVA VILH VEVM GBHV EVMG”
"SRIG VVMU LFIS FMWI VWUR UGBG SIVV”
“You’ll never guess this one and I won’t give you a clue!” Frog boasts, before a bug flies up his nose, and Frog sneezes a very loud “Ah-Atbash-choo!”
You can validate your puzzle solution with certitude.
