"Watching your toes! Ho, ho, ho! Watching your toes! Who ever heard
of such a thing? Are you afraid that they will run away, Grandfather
Frog?" shouted Mr. Redwing.
Grandfather Frog didn't answer. He kept right on watching his toes.
Mr. Redwing flew away to tell everybody he met how Grandfather Frog
had become foolish and was watching his toes. The sun shone down
warm and bright, and pretty soon Grandfather Frog's big goggly eyes
began to blink. Then his head began to nod, and then -- why, then
Grandfather Frog fell fast asleep.
By and by Grandfather Frog awoke with a start. He looked down at his
toes. They were not in the water at all! Indeed, the water was a
good long jump away.
"Chugarum! There is something wrong with the Smiling Pool!" cried
Grandfather Frog, as he made a long jump into the water and started
to swim out to the Big Rock.
CHAPTER IX: The Laughing Brook Stops Laughing
There was something wrong. Grandfather Frog knew it the very minute
he got up that morning.
