When he was right under the big green lily pad he suddenly kicked up hard with his hind feet . Up went the big green lily pad , and , of course , up went Grandfather Frog -- up and over flat on his back , with a great splash into the Smiling Pool ! Now , Grandfather Frog 's mouth is very big . Indeed , no one else has so big a mouth , unless it be his cousin , old Mr. Toad . And when Grandfather Frog went over flat on his back , splash in the Smiling Pool , his mouth was wide open . You see he was so surprised he forgot to close it . So , of course , Grandfather Frog swallowed a great deal of water , and he choked and spluttered and swam around in foolish little circles trying to find himself . Finally he climbed out on his big green lily pad . -LSB- Illustration : He was so surprised he forgot to close it . -RSB- `` Chug-a-rum ? '' said Grandfather Frog , and looked this way and looked that way . Then he gave a funny hop and turned about in the opposite direction and looked this way and looked that way , but all he saw was the Smiling Pool dimpling and smiling , Mrs. Redwing bringing a fat worm to her hungry little babies in their snug nest in the bulrushes , and the Merry Little Breezes hurrying over to see what the trouble might be . `` Chug-a-rum ! '' said Grandfather Frog . `` It is very strange . I must have fallen asleep and had a bad dream . '' Then he once more settled himself comfortably on the big green lily pad , folded his hands across his white and yellow waistcoat , and seemed to be dreaming again , only his big goggly eyes were not dreaming . No , indeed ! They were very much awake , and they saw all that was going on in the Smiling Pool . Great-Grandfather Frog was just pretending .
You may fool him once , but Grandfather XXXXX has lived so long that he has become very wise , and though Billy Mink is very smart , it takes some one a great deal smarter than Billy Mink to fool Grandfather Frog twice in the same way .
