1
00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:50,159
Speaker 1: Welcome sleep tight stories Professor Frog's lecture. Bobby was not

2
00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:54,160
Speaker 1: quite sure that he was awake. But when he opened

3
00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:58,000
Speaker 1: his eyes, there was the blue sky with the soft

4
00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:02,600
Speaker 1: white clouds drifting across it, the big pine waving its

5
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:07,280
Speaker 1: spicy branches over his head, and beyond the glint of

6
00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:13,280
Speaker 1: sunshine on the waters of the pond. Presently Bobby heard

7
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:19,640
Speaker 1: voices talking softly. This is a good specimen, said one voice.

8
00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:24,920
Speaker 1: See how stout and strong he looks. I wonder who

9
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:29,200
Speaker 1: that is and what he has found, thought Bobby. I

10
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:32,479
Speaker 1: wish it wasn't such hard work to keep my eyes open.

11
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:38,440
Speaker 1: He made a great effort, however, and raised his heavy lids.

12
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:43,640
Speaker 1: At first he could see nothing. Then he caught a

13
00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:47,720
Speaker 1: glimpse of a mossy lock with a row of frogs

14
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:53,080
Speaker 1: and toads sitting upon it. They were looking solemnly at Bobby.

15
00:01:54,400 --> 00:02:00,440
Speaker 1: Bobby felt a little uncomfortable under that steady gaze. Toads

16
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:03,160
Speaker 1: are making their spring visit to the pond to lay

17
00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:06,600
Speaker 1: their eggs, thought the boy. I forgot that they were

18
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:11,360
Speaker 1: due this week. He must have done a good deal

19
00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:16,960
Speaker 1: of mischief in his day, said an old bullfrog gravely.

20
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:23,519
Speaker 1: A chill crept over Bobby in his day? What did

21
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 1: that mean? A toad hopped out from the line and

22
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:32,720
Speaker 1: came so close to Bobby that he could have touched her,

23
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:37,880
Speaker 1: but for the strange spell which held him fast. Yes,

24
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:42,480
Speaker 1: said she, this is one of the species. We are

25
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:45,640
Speaker 1: very fortunate to have caught him. Now we shall be

26
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:52,400
Speaker 1: ready to listen to Professor Rana's remarks. Still Bobby could

27
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:58,240
Speaker 1: not move. What were they going to do? In a moment,

28
00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:02,119
Speaker 1: there was a rustling among them dry leaves, and dozens

29
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:07,680
Speaker 1: of frogs and toads were seen hurrying towards the pine tree.

30
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 1: Among them was a ponderous frog carrying a roll of

31
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 1: manuscript under his arm. He wore huge goggles and looked

32
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:23,920
Speaker 1: so wise that Bobby did not dare to laugh. I

33
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 1: am very sleepy, murmured a portly toad near Bobby's left ear.

34
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:36,000
Speaker 1: I laid over eight thousand eggs last night, and I

35
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:40,640
Speaker 1: have a long journey before me. But I must stay

36
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 1: to hear this. We may never have such a chance again,

37
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:53,000
Speaker 1: Ladies and gentlemen, began the professor in a sonorous tone

38
00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:57,360
Speaker 1: that was easily heard for several feet. This is a

39
00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:01,840
Speaker 1: specimen of the creature known to us as the human tadpole.

40
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:08,480
Speaker 1: You will kindly observe his long legs. They were doubtless

41
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:13,640
Speaker 1: given to him for the purpose of protection, being possessed

42
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 1: of a most mischievous and reckless spirit. The species is

43
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:23,840
Speaker 1: always getting into difficulties, and would probably become extinct if

44
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:29,159
Speaker 1: it had not the power to run away. Nonsense, said

45
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:33,480
Speaker 1: Bobby under his breath. There was a murmur of interest

46
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:39,600
Speaker 1: and curiosity among the crowd. Bobby felt his legs twitch nervously,

47
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:45,719
Speaker 1: but his power over them was gone. Otherwise, went on

48
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:50,679
Speaker 1: the lecturer. He is not at all adapted to his surroundings.

49
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:56,440
Speaker 1: Observe how carefully we are dressed. The frogs have the

50
00:04:56,440 --> 00:05:00,680
Speaker 1: green and brown tints of their homes by the water side.

51
00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:04,640
Speaker 1: The toads look like lumps of dirt, so that they

52
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:08,360
Speaker 1: may not be too readily snapped up by birds of prey.

53
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:13,360
Speaker 1: But the boy, to call him by his scientific name,

54
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:19,320
Speaker 1: has no such protection. Look at this red shirt, and

55
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:23,359
Speaker 1: these white trousers, and this hat as big as a

56
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:29,760
Speaker 1: trout pool. Could anything be more ridiculous? Even a giraffe

57
00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:35,839
Speaker 1: does not look so absurd as this. A red flush

58
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:39,719
Speaker 1: mounted to Bobby's freckled cheeks, but this time he did

59
00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:45,120
Speaker 1: not try to speak. Now, said the professor, as far

60
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:48,760
Speaker 1: as we have been able to learn, the human tadpole

61
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:56,000
Speaker 1: is absolutely useless. We are therefore doing no harm in

62
00:05:56,120 --> 00:06:00,919
Speaker 1: experimenting upon this specimen. There are plenty of them, and

63
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:07,039
Speaker 1: this one will not be a serious loss. Stop, said Bobby,

64
00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:11,359
Speaker 1: so unexpectedly that everyone jumped. What are you going to

65
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:16,039
Speaker 1: do with me? You will be so kind as to

66
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:21,800
Speaker 1: lie still, said the professor, severely. At present you are

67
00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:28,120
Speaker 1: only a specimen. There was no help for it. Bobby

68
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:33,480
Speaker 1: found it impossible to move hand or foot. He could

69
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:40,480
Speaker 1: wriggle a little, but that was all. Not only is

70
00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:45,960
Speaker 1: the boy entirely useless, went on the professor, But he

71
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:50,960
Speaker 1: is often what might be called a pest, even to

72
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:55,760
Speaker 1: his own kind. He is endured in the world for

73
00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:59,479
Speaker 1: what he may become when he is full grown, and

74
00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:05,359
Speaker 1: even then he is sometimes disappointing. You are familiar with

75
00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:10,280
Speaker 1: many of his objectionable ways towards the animal world, but

76
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:13,520
Speaker 1: I am sure you would be surprised if you knew

77
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:16,440
Speaker 1: what a care and trouble he frequently is to his

78
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:21,520
Speaker 1: own people. He can be trusted to do few kinds

79
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:26,680
Speaker 1: of work. It is difficult to keep him clean. He

80
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:30,960
Speaker 1: does not know how to get his own dinner. He

81
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:37,320
Speaker 1: has a genius for making weaker things miserable. He likes fishing,

82
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:42,720
Speaker 1: and he longs for a gun. He collects bird eggs,

83
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:49,400
Speaker 1: He puts butterflies on pins. He teases his little sisters.

84
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:56,800
Speaker 1: Why isn't the species exterminated? Asked another frog angrily. Then

85
00:07:56,880 --> 00:08:00,480
Speaker 1: the toad near Bobby's ear spoke timidly. I think you

86
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:04,760
Speaker 1: are a little unjust, professor. I have known boys who

87
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:10,440
Speaker 1: were comparatively harmless. It is true there may be a

88
00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:15,320
Speaker 1: few missus bouffo, said the professor, with great politeness. But

89
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:19,360
Speaker 1: as a class they may be fairly set down as

90
00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:24,200
Speaker 1: of doubtful value. Speak up, tadpole, and say if I

91
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:31,440
Speaker 1: have made any false statements so far. Bobby fairly shouted,

92
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:35,600
Speaker 1: in his eagerness to be heard. We do work, he said.

93
00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:40,080
Speaker 1: We have to go to school every day. What a

94
00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:42,640
Speaker 1: help that must be to your parents and to the

95
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:48,000
Speaker 1: world at large, said the frog with sarcasm. I am

96
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:51,800
Speaker 1: surprised that we never see the results of such hard labor.

97
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:57,280
Speaker 1: Do you know how useful even our smallest tadpoles are

98
00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:02,080
Speaker 1: without them? This pond would no longer be beautiful, but

99
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:06,520
Speaker 1: foul and ill smelling. As for what we do when

100
00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:10,319
Speaker 1: we are grown up? Mostly forbids me to praise the frogs.

101
00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:15,320
Speaker 1: But you know what a toad is worth to mankind? No,

102
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:22,840
Speaker 1: said Bobby, about two cents. I guess Bobby didn't intend

103
00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:27,800
Speaker 1: to be rude. He thought his a liberal valuation twenty

104
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:32,640
Speaker 1: dollars a year, as estimated by the Department of Agriculture,

105
00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:36,600
Speaker 1: cried the frog triumphantly. What do you think of that?

106
00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:44,080
Speaker 1: I should like to know why, said Bobby, looking as

107
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:46,840
Speaker 1: if he thought Professor Rana was making fun of him.

108
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:53,119
Speaker 1: What are the greatest enemies of mankind? Asked the professor,

109
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:59,720
Speaker 1: peering over his goggles at poor Bobby. Tigers, said Bobby promptly.

110
00:09:59,840 --> 00:10:11,319
Speaker 1: Or or wolves, wrong, said the lecturer. Insects. Insects destroy

111
00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:15,520
Speaker 1: property on this content to the amount of over four

112
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:23,280
Speaker 1: hundred million dollars annually. Insects destroy the crops upon which

113
00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:27,520
Speaker 1: man depends for his food. Going to school hasn't made

114
00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:34,319
Speaker 1: you very wise, has it? Well? The toads are insect destroyers.

115
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:39,440
Speaker 1: That's their business. If the state only knew enough to

116
00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:43,439
Speaker 1: make use of them. Millions of dollars might be saved

117
00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:48,360
Speaker 1: every year. Does it seem to you that the human

118
00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:51,880
Speaker 1: animal is so clever as it might be when it

119
00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:59,040
Speaker 1: allows such numbers of toads to be destroyed? It's a shame.

120
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:03,320
Speaker 1: In a voice from the front seats, we keep out

121
00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:05,840
Speaker 1: of the way as much as we can. We eat

122
00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:11,120
Speaker 1: every kind of troublesome worm and insect, the cutworm, canker worm,

123
00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:16,760
Speaker 1: tent caterpillar, army worm, rose beetle, and the common house fly.

124
00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:21,120
Speaker 1: We ask for no wages, or food or care. And

125
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:24,440
Speaker 1: what do we get in return? Not even protection and

126
00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:28,040
Speaker 1: common kindness. If we had places where we could live

127
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:30,880
Speaker 1: in safety, who could tell the amount of good we

128
00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:34,360
Speaker 1: might do? Yet I would not have this poor boy

129
00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:39,080
Speaker 1: hurt if a word of mine could prevent it. This

130
00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:45,119
Speaker 1: is a scientific meeting, observed the professor and benelovent sentiments

131
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:48,920
Speaker 1: are quite out of place. We will now proceed to

132
00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:53,360
Speaker 1: notice the delicate nervous system of the creature. Stand closer,

133
00:11:53,400 --> 00:12:00,000
Speaker 1: my friends, if you please, nervous system, Indeed, said Bobby,

134
00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:05,920
Speaker 1: don't have such silly things as nerves. Suddenly, Bobby felt

135
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:09,840
Speaker 1: a multitude of tiny pin pricks over the entire surface

136
00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:14,800
Speaker 1: of his body, The suffering was not intense, but the

137
00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:19,680
Speaker 1: irritation made him squirm and WinCE. He could not discover

138
00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:24,480
Speaker 1: the cause of his discomfort, but at the Professor's command

139
00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:30,880
Speaker 1: it suddenly ceased. That will do, said the frog. Each

140
00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:33,800
Speaker 1: hair on his head is also connected with a nerve.

141
00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:37,959
Speaker 1: Pull his hair. Please, Oh, don't, said Bobby. That hurts.

142
00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:44,120
Speaker 1: Nobody listened to him. It did hurt more than you

143
00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:49,000
Speaker 1: would think, for tiny hands were pulling each hair separately.

144
00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:55,160
Speaker 1: When the ordeal was over, Bobby heard a faint noise

145
00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:58,720
Speaker 1: in the grass, as if some very small creatures were

146
00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:03,760
Speaker 1: scurrying away, but he could see nothing. He was winking

147
00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:09,040
Speaker 1: his eyes desperately to keep from crying. The assistants may

148
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:12,720
Speaker 1: go now, said the professor, and the sound of little

149
00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:17,160
Speaker 1: feet died away in the distance. How interesting this is,

150
00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:21,000
Speaker 1: murmured a plain looking toad, who had been watching the

151
00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:27,160
Speaker 1: experiments attentively. I think it's mean, protested poor Bobby, to

152
00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:31,800
Speaker 1: keep a fellow fastened up like this and then torment him.

153
00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:35,959
Speaker 1: Does it hurt as much as being skinned or having

154
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:41,080
Speaker 1: your legs cut off? Demanded the professor, Or should you

155
00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:43,559
Speaker 1: prefer to be stepped on or burned up in a

156
00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:48,480
Speaker 1: rubbish pile, asked missus Bouffle. How should you like to

157
00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:52,720
Speaker 1: be stoned or kicked for a change, said another toad, sharply.

158
00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:56,240
Speaker 1: Perhaps you would choose a fishhook in the corner of

159
00:13:56,280 --> 00:14:00,600
Speaker 1: your mouth, said a voice from the pond. Or one

160
00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:04,920
Speaker 1: run the entire length of your body, came a murmur

161
00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:09,560
Speaker 1: from the ground under Bobby's head. Wait a minute, said

162
00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:12,960
Speaker 1: the professor, more gently. We will give you a chance

163
00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:17,280
Speaker 1: to defend yourself. It is not customary to inquire into

164
00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:20,960
Speaker 1: the moral character of specimens, but we do not wish

165
00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:25,120
Speaker 1: to be unjust. Perhaps you can explain why you made

166
00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:27,960
Speaker 1: a bonfire the very week after the toads came out

167
00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:32,200
Speaker 1: of their winter quarters. Dozens of lives were destroyed before

168
00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:36,720
Speaker 1: that fire was put out. I forgot about the toads,

169
00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:43,840
Speaker 1: began Bobby carelessness, said the professor. Now you may tell

170
00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:47,360
Speaker 1: us why you like to throw stones at us. To

171
00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:53,880
Speaker 1: see you jump, said Bobby honestly, thoughtlessness, said the professor.

172
00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:57,440
Speaker 1: That's worse. Why do you kick us instead of lifting

173
00:14:57,520 --> 00:15:00,720
Speaker 1: us gently when we are in your way, inquired a

174
00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:04,480
Speaker 1: toad in a stern voice. Because you will give me

175
00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:08,240
Speaker 1: warts if I touch you, said Bobby. Please to think

176
00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:12,760
Speaker 1: that he had a good reason at last. Ignorance, cried

177
00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:18,080
Speaker 1: the professor. The toad is absolutely harmless. It has about

178
00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:20,640
Speaker 1: it a liquid that might cause pain to a cut

179
00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:24,160
Speaker 1: finger or a sensitive tissue like that of the mouth

180
00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:27,400
Speaker 1: or eye. But the old story that a toad is

181
00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:33,680
Speaker 1: pos poisonous is a silly fable. Will you tell me, please,

182
00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:37,880
Speaker 1: asked a toad in a plaintive voice. If you are

183
00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:41,880
Speaker 1: the boy who last year carried home some of my

184
00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:47,400
Speaker 1: babies in a tin pail and let them die, I'm

185
00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:53,360
Speaker 1: afraid i am, said Bobby sorrowfully. Do explain why you

186
00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:58,080
Speaker 1: dislike us, said missus Buffo, in such a frank fashion

187
00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:03,280
Speaker 1: that Bobby felt that he must tell the truth. I

188
00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:07,760
Speaker 1: suppose it's your looks, said the boy, unable to frame

189
00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:12,680
Speaker 1: his answer in more polite terms. Well upon my word,

190
00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:17,080
Speaker 1: interrupted the professor. I thought better of a boy than that.

191
00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:21,080
Speaker 1: So you prefer boys with pretty faces and soft curling

192
00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:25,000
Speaker 1: hair and nice clothes to those who can climb and jump,

193
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:27,200
Speaker 1: and who are not afraid of a day's tramp in

194
00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:32,080
Speaker 1: the woods. Of course I don't, said indignant Bobby. I

195
00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:36,480
Speaker 1: hate boys who are always thinking about their clothes. Oh

196
00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:39,960
Speaker 1: you do, said the frog. Now answer me a few

197
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:46,640
Speaker 1: more questions. Have you ever stolen birds eggs? Yes, said

198
00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:53,360
Speaker 1: truthful Bobby. Have you ever collected butterflies? Yes, said Bobby.

199
00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:59,720
Speaker 1: Have you taken nuts from squirrels cupboards? Yes? Said Bobby.

200
00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:02,920
Speaker 1: Do you think we ought to have a very friendly

201
00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:08,520
Speaker 1: feeling towards you? Went on the questioner. No, said Bobby.

202
00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:14,560
Speaker 1: I don't we have shown that you are not only useless,

203
00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:20,879
Speaker 1: but careless and thoughtless and ignorant, said the frog. Is

204
00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:24,040
Speaker 1: there any very good reason why we should let you go?

205
00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:29,760
Speaker 1: Poor Bobby racked his brains to think of something that

206
00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:33,760
Speaker 1: should appeal to his captors. I have a right to live,

207
00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:38,600
Speaker 1: haven't I? He said? At last? Because you are so pretty,

208
00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:45,080
Speaker 1: suggested the professor, and Bobby's eyes fell with shame. Any

209
00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:48,920
Speaker 1: better right than we have came a chorus of voices.

210
00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:57,680
Speaker 1: Bobby was silent. He felt very helpless and insignificant. There

211
00:17:57,760 --> 00:18:02,800
Speaker 1: was a long pause. Then the frog professor smiled broadly

212
00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:06,800
Speaker 1: at Bobby. Come, he said, I like you. You are

213
00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:10,520
Speaker 1: not afraid to be honest, and that's something. If you

214
00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:13,720
Speaker 1: will let me go, said Bobby, I'll see that the

215
00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:18,440
Speaker 1: boys don't hurt you any more. I felt pretty sure

216
00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:21,840
Speaker 1: that we'd converted you, said the professor, and I'm going

217
00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:24,240
Speaker 1: to let you go back and preach to the heathen

218
00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:28,360
Speaker 1: as the grown people say. You can see for yourself

219
00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:31,280
Speaker 1: how much harm a boy can do if he doesn't think.

220
00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:37,080
Speaker 1: Bobby felt that he was free, and scrambled to his feet,

221
00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:40,320
Speaker 1: rubbing first one arm and then the other to take

222
00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:44,320
Speaker 1: the prickly feeling out of them. The frogs had vanished.

223
00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:48,920
Speaker 1: There was only the blue sky, the waving pine tree,

224
00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:54,960
Speaker 1: and the quiet pot. Well, said Bobby, with a long

225
00:18:55,080 --> 00:19:00,159
Speaker 1: breath of amazement. Well came the warning voice of a

226
00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:04,960
Speaker 1: frog somewhere near the water's edge. Yes, sir, I'll remember,

227
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:19,000
Speaker 1: said Bobby, in the meekest of meek tones.
