The woman had many flowers in her

home and she let Thumbelina make her

room among the flowers. Thumbelina was

very happy. The woman had put a bowl of

water under the flowers. Thumbelina was

so small that the bowl was like her own

lake.

One day, a frog was sitting by the

window and saw Thumbelina. "What a

beautiful wife she would make for my son,"

thought the frog. She jumped into the

kitchen and grabbed Thumbelina from the

flowers.

The frog took Thumbelina to her

home at the pond. She left Thumbelina on a

Lily pad while she went to tell her son that

she had found him a wife.
