`` Who 's a bug ? '' asked a funny voice , and it sounded rather cross . Jimmy Skunk nearly tumbled over backward in surprise , and for a minute he could n't find his tongue . There , instead of the fat beetles he had been so sure of , sat Old Mr. Toad , and he did n't look at all pleased . `` Who 's a bug ? '' he repeated . Instead of answering , Jimmy Skunk began to laugh . `` Who 's a bug ? '' demanded Old Mr. Toad , more crossly than before . `` There is n't any bug , Mr. Toad , and I beg your pardon , '' replied Jimmy , remembering his politeness . `` I just thought there was . You see , I did n't know you were under that piece of bark . I hope you will excuse me , Mr. Toad . Have you seen any fat beetles this morning ? '' `` No , '' said Old Mr. Toad grumpily , and yawned and rubbed his eyes . `` Why , '' exclaimed Jimmy Skunk , `` I believe you have just waked up ! '' `` What if I have ? '' demanded Old Mr. Toad . `` Oh , nothing , nothing at all , Mr. Toad , '' replied Jimmy Skunk , `` only you are the second one I 've met this morning who had just waked up . '' `` Who was the other ? ''
