- [101](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/tales/pg3027/27/101/) — The poor queen crouched under a rock for the rest of the night, and the next morning, when she woke from her troubled dreams, she was cheered at seeing the frog watching by her.
- [102](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/tales/pg3027/27/102/) — 'I hear we shall have to build you another palace,' said she. '
- [103](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/tales/pg3027/27/103/) — Well, this time we won't go so near the lake.'
- [104](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/tales/pg3027/27/104/) — And she smiled with her funny wide mouth, till the queen took heart, and they went together to find wood for the new cabin.
- [105](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/tales/pg3027/27/105/) — The tiny palace was soon ready, and a fresh bed made of wild thyme, which smelt delicious.
- [106](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/tales/pg3027/27/106/) — Neither the queen nor the frog said anything about it, but somehow, as always happens, the story came to the ears of the Lion Fairy, and she sent a raven to fetch the culprit.
- [107](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/tales/pg3027/27/107/) — 'What gods or men are protecting you?' she asked, with a frown. '
- [108](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/tales/pg3027/27/108/) — This earth, dried up by a constant rain of sulphur and fire, produces nothing, yet I hear that YOUR bed is made of sweet smelling herbs.
- [109](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/tales/pg3027/27/109/) — However, as you can get flowers for yourself, of course you can get them for me, and in an hour's time I must have in my room a nosegay of the rarest flowers.
- [110](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/tales/pg3027/27/110/) — If not--!
- [111](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/tales/pg3027/27/111/) — Now you can go.'
