replied the queen . ` This time I have to bring her in an hour a posy of the rarest flowers , and where am I to find them ? If I fail I know she will kill me . ' ` Well , I must see if I ca n't help you , ' answered the frog . ` The only person I have made friends with here is a bat . She is a good creature , and always does what I tell her , so I will just lend her my cap , and if she puts it on , and flies into the world , she will bring back all we want .
