The Frog answered, Dresses, or jewels, or golden crowns, are not for me; but if thou wilt love me, and let me be thy com panion and playfellow, and sit at thy table, and eat from thy little golden plate, and drink out of thy cup, and sleep in thy little bed, — if thou wilt promise me all these, then will I dive down and fetch up thy golden ball. Oh, I will promise you all, said she, if you will only get me my ball. But she thought to herself, What is the silly Frog chattering about Let him remain in the water with his equals.
