Many
water
lilies
with
broad
green
leaves
grew
in
the
stream
,
and
it
looked
as
if
they
were
floating
on
the
surface
.
The
leaf
which
lay
furthest
from
the
bank
was
the
largest
of
them
all
,
and
it
was
to
this
leaf
that
the
old
toad
swam
with
the
walnut
shell
which
held
Thumbelina
.
12
The
poor
little
thing
woke
up
early
next
morning
,
and
when
she
saw
where
she
was
she
began
to
cry
bitterly
.
There
was
water
all
around
the
big
green
leaf
and
there
was
no
way
at
all
for
her
to
reach
the
shore
.
The
old
toad
sat
in
the
mud
,
decorating
a
room
with
green
rushes
and
yellow
water
lilies
,
to
have
it
looking
its
best
for
her
new
daughter-in-law
.
Then
she
and
her
ugly
son
swam
out
to
the
leaf
on
which
Thumbelina
was
standing
.
They
came
for
her
pretty
little
bed
,
which
they
wanted
to
carry
to
the
bridal
chamber
before
they
took
her
there
.
13
The
old
toad
curtsied
deep
in
the
water
before
her
,
and
said
:

"
Meet
my
son
.
He
is
to
be
your
husband
,
and
you
will
share
a
delightful
home
in
the
mud
.
"
15
"
Co-ax
,
co-ax
,
brek-ek-eke-kex
,
"
was
all
that
her
son
could
say
.
16
Then
they
took
the
pretty
little
bed
and
swam
away
with
it
.
Left
all
alone
on
the
green
leaf
,
Thumbelina
sat
down
and
cried
.
She
did
not
want
to
live
in
the
slimy
toad
's
house
,
and
she
did
n't
want
to
have
the
toad
's
horrible
son
for
her
husband
.
The
little
fishes
who
swam
in
the
water
beneath
her
had
seen
the
toad
and
heard
what
she
had
said
.
So
up
popped
their
heads
to
have
a
look
at
the
little
girl
.
No
sooner
had
they
seen
her
than
they
felt
very
sorry
that
anyone
so
pretty
should
have
to
go
down
to
live
with
that
hideous
toad
.
No
,
that
should
never
be
!
They
gathered
around
the
green
stem
which
held
the
leaf
where
she
was
,
and
gnawed
it
in
two
with
their
teeth
.
Away
went
the
leaf
down
the
stream
,
and
away
went
Thumbelina
,
far
away
where
the
toad
could
not
catch
her
.
17
Thumbelina
sailed
past
many
a
place
,
and
when
the
little
birds
in
the
bushes
saw
her
they
sang
,
"
What
a
darling
little
girl
.
"
The
leaf
drifted
further
and
further
away
with
her
,
and
so
it
was
that
Thumbelina
became
a
traveler
.

A
lovely
white
butterfly
kept
fluttering
around
her
,
and
at
last
alighted
on
the
leaf
,
because
he
admired
Thumbelina
.
She
was
a
happy
little
girl
again
,
now
that
the
toad
could
not
catch
her
.
It
was
all
very
lovely
as
she
floated
along
,
and
where
the
sun
struck
the
water
it
looked
like
shining
gold
.
Thumbelina
undid
her
sash
,
tied
one
end
of
it
to
the
butterfly
,
and
made
the
other
end
fast
to
the
leaf
.
It
went
much
faster
now
,
and
Thumbelina
went
much
faster
too
,
for
of
course
she
was
standing
on
it
.
19
Just
then
,
a
big
May-bug
flew
by
and
caught
sight
of
her
.
Immediately
he
fastened
his
claws
around
her
slender
waist
and
flew
with
her
up
into
a
tree
.
Away
went
the
green
leaf
down
the
stream
,
and
away
went
the
butterfly
with
it
,
for
he
was
tied
to
the
leaf
and
could
not
get
loose
.
20
My
goodness
!
How
frightened
little
Thumbelina
was
when
the
May-bug
carried
her
up
in
the
tree
.
But
she
was
even
more
sorry
for
the
nice
white
butterfly
she
had
fastened
to
the
leaf
,
because
if
he
could
n't
free
himself
he
would
have
to
starve
to
death
.
But
the
May-bug
was
n't
one
to
care
about
that
.
He
sat
her
down
on
the
largest
green
leaf
of
the
tree
,
fed
her
honey
from
the
flowers
,
and
told
her
how
pretty
she
was
,
considering
that
she
did
n't
look
the
least
like
a
May-bug
.
After
a
while
,
all
the
other
May-bugs
who
lived
in
the
tree
came
to
pay
them
a
call
.
