Thumbelina began to cry because she
did not want to marry a frog. The fish heard
her crying. They chewed the stem of the
Lily pad until it was no longer attached to
the bottom of the pond. Thumbelina was
free and she sailed down a little stream.
When she reached the shore, she
began to explore the forest. It was getting
cold and Thumbelina needed a place to stay
for the winter. She found a little door
within the tall grass.
"Welcome to my house. Come in and
have something to eat," said a mouse.
Thumbelina ate with the mouse. She stayed
with him for the whole winter. During that
time, Thumbelina met Mr. Mole - a very
rich mole.
