 in his hand, and he at once lifted it up over his shoulder. “Don’t hit me,” said the frog. “That would be a _very_ wicked thing to do.” Tommy Smith was so surprised to hear a frog speak that he dropped his stick and stood with both his eyes wide open for several seconds. “Why do you want to kill me?” said the frog. Tommy Smith thought he must say something, so he answered, “Because you are a nasty, stupid frog.” “I don’t know what you mean by calling me nasty,” said the frog. “Look at my bright smooth skin, how nice and clean it is—cleaner than your own face, I daresay, although it is not long since you have washed it. As for my being stupid, you see that I can speak your language, although you cannot speak mine; and there are lots of other things which I am able to do, but you are not. I think I can catch a fly better than you can.” By this time it seemed to Tommy Smith as if it was quite natural to be talking to an animal, so he said, “I never thought that a frog could catch a fly.” G ON THE WET GRASS TOMMY SMITH HAD A STICK IN HIS HAND AND HE AT ONCE LIFTED IT UP OVER HIS SHOULDER DON'T HIT ME SAID THE FROG THAT WOULD BE A VERY WICKED THING TO DO TOMMY SMITH WAS SO SURPRISED TO HEAR A FROG SPEAK THAT HE DROPPED HIS STICK AND STOOD WITH BOTH HIS EYES WIDE OPEN FOR SEVERAL SECONDS WHY DO YOU WANT TO KILL ME SAID THE FROG TOMMY SMITH THOUGHT HE MUST SAY SOMETHING SO HE ANSWERED BECAUSE YOU ARE A NASTY STUPID FROG I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN BY CALLING ME NASTY SAID THE FROG LOOK AT MY BRIGHT SMOOTH SKIN HOW NICE AND CLEAN IT IS CLEANER THAN YOUR OWN FACE I DARE SAY ALTHOUGH IT IS NOT LONG SINCE YOU HAVE WASHED IT AS FOR MY BEING STUPID YOU SEE THAT I CAN SPEAK YOUR LANGUAGE ALTHOUGH YOU CANNOT SPEAK MINE AND THERE ARE LOTS OF OTHER THINGS WHICH I AM ABLE TO DO BUT YOU ARE NOT I THINK I CAN CATCH A FLY BETTER THAN YOU CAN BY THIS TIME IT SEEMED TO TOMMY SMITH AS IF IT WAS QUITE NATURAL TO BE TALKING TO AN ANIMAL SO HE SAID I NEVER THOUGHT THAT A FROG COULD CATCH A FLY
