She can't escape from there while we are getting the stateroom under the mud ready, where you are to live and keep house." Out in the river grew many clumps of water-lilies with broad, green leaves, that looked as if they were floating on the surface of the water; the leaf which was farthest out was also the largest ; the old toad swam to it, and placed Thumbelina, nut-shell and all, on top of it. The poor little creature awoke quite early in the morning, and when she saw where she was, she began to cry bitterly, for there was w ater on every side of the big green leaf, and she could not get ashore in any way. The old toad was busy down in the mud, decking her room with rushes and yellow sedges, for she was determined that her new daughter-in-law should find it nice and tidy. After that she swam out with her ugly son to the leaf where Thumbelina sat; they wanted to fetch away her pretty bed, as it was to be put into the bridal-chamber before the bride herself arrived. The old toad bowed low in the water and said, "Let me introduce my son; he is to be your husband, and you will live together pleasantly down in the mud."
