My tongue, you see, is sticky—just feel it,—and so whatever it touches sticks to it, and comes back with it, if it isn’t too large.” “Well, it is very curious,” said Tommy Smith. “But when you said you could catch a fly, I did not know that you were going to eat it too. Then, do you like flies? and do you eat them every day?” “I eat them when I can get them,” said the frog; “but I like them better at night than in the daytime, if only I can catch them asleep. _You_ eat during the day, and go to sleep at night. That is because you are a little boy. _I_ am a frog, and we frogs like to be quiet in the daytime, and come out to feed when it is dark. We eat all sorts of insects—beetles, and flies, and moths, and caterpillars, and we eat slugs as well, and that is why we are so useful.” ACK WHEN YOU JERK THE HANDLE THE TIP OF IT GOES RIGHT DOWN MY THROAT WHERE IT WAS BEFORE AND THE FLY GOES DOWN WITH IT BUT WHY DOES THE FLY STAY ON YOUR TONGUE SAID TOMMY SMITH WHY DOESN'T IT FLY AWAY IT WOULD IF IT COULD OF COURSE SAID THE FROG BUT IT CAN'T MY TONGUE YOU SEE IS STICKY JUST FEEL IT AND SO WHATEVER IT TOUCHES STICKS TO IT AND COMES BACK WITH IT IF IT ISN'T TOO LARGE WELL IT IS VERY CURIOUS SAID TOMMY SMITH BUT WHEN YOU SAID YOU COULD CATCH A FLY I DO NOT KNOW THAT YOU ARE GOING TO EAT IT TOO THEN DO YOU LIKE FLIES AND DO YOU EAT THEM EVERY DAY I EAT THEM WHEN I CAN GET THEM SAID THE FROG BUT I LIKE THEM BETTER AT NIGHT THAN IN THE DAYTIME IF ONLY I CAN CATCH THEM ASLEEP YOU EAT DURING THE DAY AND GO TO SLEEP AT NIGHT THAT IS BECAUSE YOU ARE A LITTLE BOY I AM A FROG AND WE FROGS LIKE TO BE QUIET IN THE DAYTIME AND COME OUT TO FEED WHEN IT IS DARK WE EAT ALL SORTS OF INSECTS BEETLES FLIES AND MOTHS AND CATERPILLARS AND WE EAT SLUGS AS WELL AND THAT IS WHY WE ARE SO USEFUL
