Some said they would scratch Tommy Smith's face with their claws, and others that they would peck his eyes out. The frog wanted to hop down his throat and choke him, and the lizard was ready to crawl up his back and tickle him, if they thought _that_ would do any good. SOME SAID THEY WOULD SCRATCH TOMMY SMITH'S FACE WITH THEIR CLAWS AND OTHERS THAT THEY WOULD PECK HIS EYES OUT THE FROG WANTED TO HOP DOWN HIS THROAT AND CHOKE HIM AND THE LIZARD WAS READY TO CRAWL UP HIS BACK AND TICKLE HIM IF THEY THOUGHT THAT WOULD DO ANY GOOD
 not agree to this, as he did not understand houses, and thought he would be sure to be caught if he went into one. “Well, then,” said the rat, “if you are afraid I will go myself, for I know the way about, and am not at all frightened. In the middle of the night, when it is quite dark, and when Tommy Smith is fast asleep, I will creep up the stairs and into his room, and then I can run up the counterpane to the foot of his bed and bite his toes.” “Why his toes?” said the weasel. “_I_ can do much better than that, and if you will only show me the way into his room, I will bite the veins of his throat, and then he will soon bleed to death.” “That would be taking too much trouble,” said the adder, coming from under his bush. “You all know that _my_ bite is poisonous. Well, I know where this bad boy goes out walking, so I will just hide myself somewhere near, and when he comes by I will spring out and bite his ankle. Then he will soon die.” The birds, too, had different things to suggest.  HE WAS UNDRESSED BUT THE HEDGEHOG WOULD NOT AGREE TO THIS AS HE DID NOT UNDERSTAND HOUSES AND THOUGHT HE WOULD BE SURE TO BE CAUGHT IF HE WENT INTO ONE WELL THEN SAID THE RAT IF YOU ARE AFRAID I WILL GO AND BY MYSELF FOR I KNOW THE WAY ABOUT AND ARE NOT AT ALL FRIGHTENED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT WHEN IT IS QUITE DARK AND WHEN TOMMY SMITH IS FAST ASLEEP I WILL CREEP UP THE STAIRS AND INTO HIS ROOM AND THEN I CAN RUN UP THE COUNTERPANE TO THE FOOT OF HIS BED AND BITE HIS TOES WHY HIS TOES SAID THE WEASEL I CAN DO MUCH BETTER THAN THAT AND IF YOU WILL ONLY SHOW ME THE WAY INTO HIS ROOM I WILL BITE THE VEINS OF HIS THROAT AND THEN HE WILL SOON BLEED TO DEATH THAT WOULD BE TAKING TOO MUCH TROUBLE SAID THE ADDER COMING FROM UNDER HIS BUSH YOU ALL KNOW THAT MY BITE IS POISONOUS WELL I KNOW WHERE THIS BAD BOY GOES OUT WALKING SO I WILL JUST HIDE MYSELF SOMEWHERE NEAR AND WHEN HE COMES BY I WILL SPRING OUT AND BITE HIS ANKLE THEN HE WILL SOON DIE THE BIRDS TOO HAD DIFFERENT THINGS TO SUGGEST
