"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.

ange our skin, just as you would change a suit of clothes. Does he not look handsome in his new one?” “Very handsome—for a toad,” said Tommy Smith. (The toad only 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 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.
