She won dered how he hadxbeen made leader of the Frogs.

We must have, a plan, sne de clared, "and try to make our losses as small as possible." She guided Mr. Swallow back to the edge of the ravine, Rattler Glen, as Mr. Swallow called it. General Hop per reluctantly followed. He would much rather have stayed and posed before his army, but Blue Jay, acting as his flying horse, carried him off be fore he knew what was going on. "If we could vf oil stones down on the Snakes we might be able to kill a lot," figured Peggy, looking up at the steep, rocky walls of the glen. "We don't have to do that," insisted General Hopper. "We'll just come swimming across in vast numbers, climb up here by the easy slopes ris ing from Marshland, shout our battle rru Trn.a-lr Vffl. Cro-a-k 'em!

Judge Owl frowned on General Hopper and hooted: Tou can iiop, hop, hop, But your top, top, top, Hae no wit, wit, wit, Not a bit, bit. bit. Bob Olink explained the matter io Peggy: "The Frogs have gone to war in a good cause the freedom of Marshland," he said. "And we Birds want them to win, for the Snakes are our enemies, too.
