"He has swallowed his own skin!" he cried. "Of course I have," said the toad; "and the best thing to do with it, _I_ think. HE HAS SWALLOWED HIS OWN SKIN HE CRIED OF COURSE I HAVE SAID THE TOAD AND THE BEST THING TO DO WITH IT I THINK
e more the toad wriggled, the looser the old skin got, and it was soon plain that he was wriggling himself out of it, just as you might wriggle your hand out of an old glove. At last he had got right out of it, and there lay the old skin on the ground. “You see,” said the frog, “that is how we change our skin, just as you would change a suit of clothes. Does he not look handsome in his new one?” “Very handsome—for a toad,” said Tommy Smith. (The toad only heard the first two words of this, so he was _very_ pleased.) “But what is he doing with his old skin, now that he has got it off?” “If you wait a little, you will see,” said the frog. All this time the toad was pushing his old skin backwards and forwards with his two front feet, and he kept on doing this until, at last, he had rolled it up into a sort of ball. Then all at once he opened his great wide mouth and swallowed the ball, just as if it had been a large pill. Tommy Smith was so surprised that he could hardly believe his eyes.
