Now whilst Tommy Smith was talking to the grass snake he kept looking at the poor dead frogs that were lying on the grass, and you can think how surprised he was when, all at once, one of them moved a little, and then began to crawl away very slowly. Then the others moved, and began to crawl away too. So they were not dead after all. NOW TOMMY SMITH WAS TALKING TO THE GRASSNAKE HE KEPT LOOKING AT THE POOR DEAD FROGS THAT WERE LYING ON THE GRASS AND YOU CAN THINK HOW SURPRISED HE WAS WHEN ALL AT ONCE ONE OF THEM MOVED A LITTLE AND THEN BEGAN TO CRAWL AWAY VERY SLOWLY THEN THE OTHERS MOVED AND BEGAN TO CRAWL AWAY TOO SO THEY WERE NOT DEAD AFTER ALL

That is the sort of place that I like to lay them in.” Tommy Smith thought that this was another nasty habit of the grass-snake, but he didn’t like to say so, because he had said it twice before; so, after a little while, he said, “And do you really like being a snake, Mr. Grass-Snake?” You see he had to say something, and he didn’t quite know what to say. “Like it?” said the grass-snake. “Of course I do. I should be very sorry to be anything else. Yes, we snakes have a happy life. In summer we crawl about and eat frogs, and in winter we find some nice place to go to sleep in.” “Then do you sleep all the winter?” said Tommy Smith. “Of course,” said the grass-snake. “What else is there to do? There are no frogs in winter, and it is cold and unpleasant. The best thing is to go to sleep, and that is what I always do.” RD LIKE PEARLS THEIR SHELL IS SOFT AND NOT AT ALL LIKE THE SHELL OF A BIRD'S EGG I SHOULD LIKE TO SEE THEM SAID TOMMY SMITH WELL SAID THE GRASSNAKE YOU MUST LOOK ABOUT IN MANURE HEAPS AND THEN PERHAPS YOU WILL FIND SOME THAT IS THE SORT OF PLACE THAT I LIKE TO LAY THEM IN TOMMY SMITH THOUGHT THAT THIS WAS ANOTHER NASTY HABIT OF THE GRASSNAKE BUT HE DIDN'T LIKE TO SAY SO BECAUSE HE HAD SAID IT TWICE BEFORE SO AFTER A LITTLE WHILE HE SAID AND DO YOU REALLY LIKE BEING A SNAKE MISTER GRASSNAKE YOU SEE HE HAD TO SAY SOMETHING AND HE DIDN'T QUITE KNOW WHAT TO SAY LIKE IT SAID THE GRASSNAKE OF COURSE I DO I SHOULD BE VERY SORRY TO BE ANYTHING ELSE YES WE SNAKES HAVE A HAPPY LIFE IN SUMMER WE CRAWL ABOUT AND EAT FROGS AND IN WINTER WE FIND SOME NICE PLACE TO GO TO SLEEP IN THEN DO YOU SLEEP ALL THE WINTER SAID TOMMY SMITH OF COURSE SAID THE GRASSNAKE WHAT ELSE IS THERE TO DO THERE ARE NO FROGS IN WINTER AND IT IS COLD AND UNPLEASANT THE BEST THING IS TO GO TO SLEEP AND THAT IS WHAT I ALWAYS DO
