Tommy Smith did as he was told, and—plop! there was the frog sitting in his hand. TOMMY SMITH DID AS HE WAS TOLD AND PLOP THERE WAS THE FROG SITTING ON HIS HAND
nk 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.” “You shall see,” said the frog. And as he spoke a fly settled on a blade of grass just in front of him. Then all at once a pink streak seemed to shoot out of the frog’s mouth; back it came again—snap! His mouth, which had been wide open, was shut once more, and the fly was nowhere to be seen. “Have you caught it?” said Tommy Smith. “Yes,” said the frog, “and swallowed it too.” “But how did you do it?” said Tommy Smith; “and what was that funny pink thing that came out of your mouth?” “That was my tongue,” the frog answered. “Your tongue!” cried Tommy Smith. “But it looked so funny—not at all like my own tongue.” “No,” said the frog. “My tongue is quite different to yours, and I do not use it in the same way. Hold out your hand so that I can hop into it, and then I will show you all about it.” F 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 YOU SHALL SEE SAID THE FROG AND AS HE SPOKE A FLY SETTLED ON A BLADE OF GRASS JUST IN FRONT OF HIM THEN ALL AT ONCE A PINK STREAK SEEMED TO SHOOT OUT OF THE FROG'S MOUTH BACK IT CAME AGAIN SNAP HIS MOUTH WHICH HAD BEEN WIDE OPEN WAS SHUT ONCE MORE AND THE FLY WAS NOWHERE TO BE SEEN HAVE YOU CAUGHT IT SAID TOMMY SMITH YES SAID THE FROG AND SWALLOWED IT TOO BUT HOW DO YOU DO IT SAID TOMMY SMITH AND WHAT WAS THAT FUNNY PINK THING THAT CAME OUT OF YOUR MOUTH THAT WAS MY TONGUE THE FROG ANSWERED YOUR TONGUE CRIED TOMMY SMITH BUT IT LOOKED SO FUNNY NOT AT ALL LIKE MY OWN TONGUE NO SAID THE FROG MY TONGUE IS QUITE DIFFERENT TO YOURS AND I DO NOT USE IT IN THE SAME WAY HOLD OUT YOUR HAND SO THAT I CAN HOP INTO IT AND THEN I WILL SHOW YOU ALL ABOUT IT
