The girl sprang up overjoyed at the sight , and hurried with them to the Lion Fairy , who was so astonished that for once she had nothing to say . Now the smell and touch of the flowers had made the queen sick with longing for her home , and she told the frog that she would certainly die if she did not manage to escape somehow . ` Let me consult my cap , ' said the frog ; and taking it off she laid it in a box , and threw in after it a few sprigs of juniper , some capers , and two peas , which she carried under her right leg ; she then shut down the lid of the box , and murmured some words which the queen did not catch . In a few moments a voice was heard speaking from the box . ` Fate , who rules us all , ' said the voice , ` forbids your leaving this place till the time shall come when certain things are fulfilled . But , instead , a gift shall be given you , which will comfort you in all your troubles . ' And the voice spoke truly , for , a few days after , when the frog peeped in at the door she found the most beautiful baby in the world lying by the side of the queen . ` So the cap has kept its word , ' cried the frog with delight . ` How soft its cheeks are , and what tiny feet it has got ! What shall we call it ? ' This was a very important point , and needed much discussion . A thousand names were proposed and rejected for a thousand silly reasons . One was another reminded the queen of somebody she did not like ; but at length an idea flashed into the queen 's head , and she called out : ' I know ! We will call her Muffette . ' ` That is the very thing , ' shouted the frog , jumping high into the air ; and so it was settled . The princess Muffette was about six months old when the frog noticed that the queen had begun to grow sad again . ` Why do you have that look in your eyes ? ' she asked one day , when she had come in to play with the baby , who could now crawl . The way they played their game was to let Muffette creep close to the frog , and then for the frog to bound high into the air and alight on the child 's head , or back , or legs , when she always sent up a shout of pleasure . There is no play fellow like a frog ; but then it must be a fairy frog , or else you might hurt it , and if you did something dreadful might happen to you .
Well , as I have XXXXX , our frog was struck with the queen 's sad face , and lost no time in asking her what was the reason . '
