been. And
by and by, when it came to be time for refreshments, she ate a whole
cherry. She never had tasted one before, but as she told Mr. Sparrow,
who had brought it to her, she really never had dreamed how delicious
a big red cherry could be. Then, when the katy-dids began to play, she
danced with her cousin, Billy Bullfrog, until it was time to go home.
[Illustration]
There was only one thing that troubled her, and that was that the

Morning Glory Ladies were still angry with her. For Little Freckle Frog
wanted to be friendly with everybody.
But at last another idea came into her head. She would give a party
herself, just as beautiful a one as Robin Redbreast's, and have it early in
the morning so that the Morning Glory Ladies could come.
[Illustration]
So that very evening, before she went home, she told Big Mary all
about it, and Big Mary promised to help all she could. Robin Redbreast
said that he would surely come, and so did Billy Bullfrog and all the
rest. Freckle Frog invited Little Black Spider, too, and even the little
white caterpillar. "And you needn't be a muff this time," she said, "but
just eat cherries, and have a good time."
Then, early the next morning, before any one else was up, she went to
invite the Morning Glory Ladies, for they are always good-natured then,
and never frown and scowl at people until the sun is hot.
"Please, dear Morning Glory Ladies," said Freckle Frog, "will you
come to my party? I want you more than any one else."
Then the Morning Glory Ladies fluttered with joy, for they loved
parties, and they smiled and answered her: "Yes, indeed, we shall come,
Little Freckle Frog, and wear our best dresses, too."
Then at last Freckle Frog was perfectly happy, and she laughed to
herself and said:
"It really doesn't matter about my being pretty any more, for every one
likes me now!"
