How should you like to have any one breaking your bedroom-door in , to see how you looked when you where in bed ? So Tom broke to pieces the door , which was the prettiest little grating of silk , stuck all over with shining bits of crystal ; and when he looked in , the caddis poked out her head , and it had turned into just the shape of a bird 's . But when Tom spoke to her she could not answer ; for her mouth and face were tight tied up in a new night-cap of neat pink skin . However , if she did n't answer , all the other caddises did ; for they held up their hands and shrieked like the cats in Struwelpeter : `` Oh , you nasty horrid boy ; there you are at it again ! And she had just laid herself up for a fortnight 's sleep , and then she would have come out with such beautiful wings , and flown about , and laid such lots of eggs : and now you have broken her door , and she ca n't mend it because her mouth is tied up for a fortnight , and she will die . Who sent you here to worry us out of our lives ? '' So Tom swam away . He was very much ashamed of himself , and felt all the naughtier ; as little boys do when they have done wrong and wo n't say so . Then he came to a pool full of little trout , and began tormenting them , and trying to catch them : but they slipped through his fingers , and jumped clean out of water in their fright . But as Tom chased them , he came close to a great dark hover under an alder root , and out floushed a huge old brown trout ten times as big as he was , and ran right against him , and knocked all the breath out of his body ; and I do n't know which was the more frightened of the two . Then he went on sulky and lonely , as he deserved to be ; and under a bank he saw a very ugly dirty creature sitting , about half as big as himself ; which had six legs , and a big stomach , and a most ridiculous head with two great eyes and a face just like a donkey 's . `` Oh , '' said Tom , `` you are an ugly fellow to be sure ! '' and he began making faces at him ; and put his nose close to him , and halloed at him , like a very rude boy . When , hey presto ; all the thing 's donkey-face came off in a moment , and out popped a long arm with a pair of pincers at the end of it , and caught Tom by the nose . It did not hurt him much ; but it held him quite tight . `` Yah , ah ! Oh , let me go ! '' cried Tom . `` Then let me go , '' said the creature . `` I want to be quiet .
I want XXXXX split . ''
