Tommy Smith stood thinking about it all for some time, and then he ran into the house to tell everybody all the wonderful things he had learnt about frogs and toads, and to beg them never to kill any, because they do good in the garden. TOMMY SMITH STOOD THINKING ABOUT IT ALL FOR SOME TIME AND THEN HE RAN INTO THE HOUSE TO TELL EVERYBODY ALL THE WONDERFUL THINGS HE HAD LEARNT ABOUT FROGS AND TOADS AND TO BEG THEM NEVER TO KILL ANY BECAUSE THEY DO GOOD IN THE GARDEN EN
 “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. “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. I always like to be tidy, and not to leave things lying about. Now, good-morning,” and he began to crawl away, for he was not an _idle_ toad, but had business to attend to. “And I have something to see about,” said the frog, “so I will say good-bye, too, for the present. But remember what you have promised—never to hurt a frog or a toad;” and, with two or three great hops, he was out of sight.  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 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 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 I ALWAYS LIKED TO BE TIDY AND NOT TO LEAVE THINGS LYING ABOUT NOW GOOD MORNING AND HE BEGAN TO CRAWL AWAY FOR HE WAS NOT AN IDLE TOAD BUT HAD BUSINESS TO ATTEND TO AND I HAVE SOMETHING TO SEE ABOUT SAID THE FROG SO I WILL SAY GOOD BY TO FOR THE PRESENT BUT REMEMBER WHAT YOU HAVE PROMISED NEVER TO HURT A FROG OR A TOAD AND WITH TWO OR THREE GREAT HOPS HE WAS OUT OF SIGHT
