In the first place his stomach was so full of ants that there was n't room for another one . No , Sir , Old Mr. Toad could n't have swallowed another ant if he had tried . Of course they made his stomach stick out , but it was n't the ants that puffed him out all over . Oh , my , no ! It was pride . That 's what it was -- pride . You know nothing can puff any one up quite like foolish pride . Old Mr. Toad was old enough to have known better . It is bad enough to see young and foolish creatures puffed up with pride , but it is worse to see any one as old as Old Mr. Toad that way . He held his head so high that he could n't see his own feet , and more than once he stubbed his toes . Presently he met his old friend , Danny Meadow Mouse . He tipped his head a little higher , puffed himself out a little more , and pretended not to see Danny . `` Hello , Mr. Toad , '' said Danny . Mr. Toad pretended not to hear . Danny looked puzzled . Then he spoke again , and this time he shouted : `` Hello , Mr. Toad ! I have n't seen you for some time . '' It would n't do to pretend not to hear this time . `` Oh , how do you do , Danny ? ''
