It was opened by the peasant , who asked him to come in and have some supper . When the meal was over , his host told him that they were in great trouble , as his eldest daughter was so ill , that they feared she could not recover . A great doctor , who had been passing that way some time before , had promised to send her some medicine that would have cured her , but the servant to whom he had entrusted the medicine had let it drop on the way back , and now there seemed no hope for the girl . Then Bobino told the father of the small bottle he had seen the frogs play with , and that he knew that was the medicine which the doctor had sent to the girl . The peasant asked him how he could be sure of this , and Bobino explained to him that he understood the language of animals , and had heard what the frogs said as they tossed the bottle about . So the peasant fetched the bottle from the ditch , and gave the medicine to his daughter . In the morning she was much better , and the grateful father did not know how to thank Bobino enough . But Bobino would accept nothing from him , and having said good-bye , set out once more on his wanderings . One day , soon after this , he came upon two men resting under a tree in the heat of the day . Being tired he stretched himself on the ground at no great distance from them , and soon they all three began to talk to one another . In the course of conversation , Bobino asked the two men where they were going ; and they replied that they were on their way to a neighbouring town , where , that day , a new ruler was to be chosen by the people . While they were still talking , some sparrows settled on the tree under which they were lying . Bobino was silent , and appeared to be listening attentively . At the end of a few minutes he said to his companions , ` Do you know what those sparrows are saying ? They are saying that to-day one of us will be chosen ruler of that town . ' The men said nothing , but looked at each other . A few minutes later , seeing that Bobino had fallen asleep , they stole away , and made with all haste for the town , where the election of a new ruler was to take place . A great crowd was assembled in the market-place , waiting for the hour when an eagle should be let loose from a cage , for it had been settled that on whose-soever house the eagle alighted , the owner of that house should become ruler of the town . At last the hour arrived ; the eagle was set free , and all eyes were strained to see where it would alight . But circling over the heads of the crowd , it flew straight in the direction of a young man , who was at that moment entering the town .
This was none other than Bobino , who had awakened soon after his companions had left him , and had followed XXXXX their footsteps .
