You may believe how grateful they were to Bobino , to whose timely warning they owed their safety . They begged him to stay and make his home with them ; but as he wanted to see more of the world , he thanked them warmly for their hospitality , and set out once more on his wanderings . All day he walked , and in the evening he came to a peasant 's house . While he was wondering whether he should knock and demand shelter for the night , he heard a great croaking of frogs in a ditch behind the house . Stepping to the back he saw a very strange sight . Four frogs were throwing a small bottle about from one to the other , making a great croaking as they did so . Bobino listened for a few minutes , and then knocked at the door of the house . 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 XXXXX his companions , ` Do you know what those sparrows are saying ?
So While as at before for of that to upon
