`` A new arrival , I see ! '' said the Frog . `` Well , after all there is nothing like mud . Give me rainy weather and a ditch , and I am quite happy . Do you think it will be a wet afternoon ? I am sure I hope so , but the sky is quite blue and cloudless . What a pity ! '' `` Ahem ! ahem ! '' said the Rocket , and he began to cough . `` What a delightful voice you have ! '' cried the Frog . `` Really it is quite like a croak , and croaking is of course the most musical sound in the world . You will hear our glee-club this evening . We sit in the old duck pond close by the farmer 's house , and as soon as the moon rises we begin . It is so entrancing that everybody lies awake to listen to us . In fact , it was only yesterday that I heard the farmer 's wife say to her mother that she could not get a wink of sleep at night on account of us . It is most gratifying to find oneself so popular . '' `` Ahem ! ahem ! ''
said the XXXXX angrily .
