"In the swampy margin of a broad stream in the garden lived the toad, with her son. He was uglier even than his mother, and when he saw the pretty little maiden in her elegant bed, he could only cry, "Croak, croak, croak."

- Hans Christian Andersen, Thumbelina

Amazing! I have never read Thumbelina, though I know of the tale. But this is an awesome toad with his noble attire and fine goblet.

Considering the story of Thumbelina, I have to say he's pretty well-dressed for a toad!

He's also a noble toad, not one of those ruffians you find without a nice lily pad.
