“croak, croak, croak,” was all her son could say for himself; so the toad took up the elegant little bed, and swam away with it, leaving tiny all alone on the green leaf, where she sat and wept. she could not bear to think of living with the old toad, and having her ugly son for a husband. the little fishes, who swam about in the water beneath, had seen the toad, and heard what she said, so they lifted their heads above the water to look at the little maiden. as soon as they caught sight of her, they saw she was very pretty, and it made them very sorry to think that she must go and live with the ugly toads. “no, it must never be!” so they assembled together in the water, round the green stalk which held the leaf on which the little maiden stood, and gnawed it away at the root with their teeth. then the leaf floated down the stream, carrying tiny far away out of reach of land.
tiny sailed past many towns, and the little birds in the bushes saw her, and sang, “what a lovely little creature;” so the leaf swam away with her farther and farther, till it brought her to other lands. a graceful little white butterfly constantly fluttered round her, and at last alighted on the leaf. tiny pleased him, and she was glad of it, for now the toad could not possibly reach her, and the country through which she sailed was beautiful, and the sun shone upon the water, till it glittered like liquid gold. she took off her girdle and tied one end of it round the butterfly, and the other end of the ribbon she fastened to the leaf, which now glided on much faster than ever, taking little tiny with it as she stood. presently a large cockchafer flew by; the moment he caught sight of her, he seized her round her delicate waist with his claws, and flew with her into a tree. the green leaf floated away on the brook, and the butterfly flew with it, for he was fastened to it, and could not get away.
