"Well," said the frog, "as it happens, my skin fits me quite comfortably now, and is not at all too tight, so I do not want to change it yet. WELL SAID THE FROG AS IT HAPPENS MY SKIN FITS ME QUITE COMFORTABLY NOW AND IS NOT AT ALL TOO TIGHT SO I DO NOT WANT TO CHANGE IT YET
and you have never thought of finding out for yourself. But have you not passed by ponds in the spring time and seen those little brown things with tails that I have been telling you about swimming about in them?” “Oh yes, I have!” said Tommy Smith; “but I always thought that those were tadpoles.” “They are tadpoles,” said the frog, “but they are young frogs for all that. A little tadpole grows into a big frog, just as a little boy grows into a big man. So you see, what a funny life mine has been, and what a lot of curious things have happened to me.” “Yes, you have had a funny life, Mr. Frog,” said Tommy Smith, “and I think it is very interesting. But is there any other clever thing you can do besides catching flies? I can catch flies myself, but I do it with my hand instead of with my tongue.” “I can change my skin,” said the frog, “and _that_ is something which _you_ cannot do.” “No,” said Tommy Smith; “and I do not believe you can do it either. I think you are only laughing at me.” FORE THAT IS BECAUSE NOBODY EVER TOLD YOU SAID THE FROG AND YOU HAVE NEVER THOUGHT OF FINDING OUT FOR YOURSELF BUT HAVE YOU NOT PASSED BY PONDS IN THE SPRING AND SEEN THOSE LITTLE BROWN THINGS WITH TAILS THAT I HAVE BEEN TELLING YOU ABOUT SWIMMING ABOUT IN THEM OH YES I HAVE SAID TOMMY SMITH BUT I ALWAYS THOUGHT THAT THOSE WERE TADPOLES THEY ARE TADPOLES SAID THE FROG BUT THEY ARE YOUNG FROGS FOR ALL THAT A LITTLE TADPOLE GROWS INTO A BIG FROG JUST AS A LITTLE BOY GROWS INTO A BIG MAN SO YOU SEE WHAT A FUNNY LIFE MINE HAS BEEN AND WHAT A LOT OF CURIOUS THINGS HAVE HAPPENED TO ME YES YOU HAVE HAD A FUNNY LIFE MISTER FROG SAID TOMMY SMITH AND I THINK IT IS VERY INTERESTING BUT IS THERE ANY OTHER CLEVER THING THAT YOU CAN DO BESIDES CATCHING FLIES I CAN CATCH FLIES MYSELF BUT I DO IT WITH MY HAND INSTEAD OF MY TONGUE I CAN CHANGE MY SKIN SAID THE FROG AND THAT IS SOMETHING WHICH YOU CANNOT DO NO SAID TOMMY SMITH AND I DO NOT BELIEVE YOU CAN DO IT EITHER I THINK YOU ARE ONLY LAUGHING AT ME
