TOM and Grace and Lou had been down to the brook the day be-fore, and
had caught three frogs. They got one of pa-pa's old ci-gar box-es, and
lined it with leaves, and cut small holes in it, that the air might pass
in and out.

The next morn-ing they o-pened the box, and put them on the grass: they
looked ver-y ill. "Let's take them back to the brook," said Lou. As soon
as the frogs saw the wa-ter, they jumped, and were seen no more.
