I wonder if the toads felt any pain as they transformed; I hope not.

Very nice picture. i almost feel sorry for those poor frogs. It's not their fault that they were used as tools.

You actually made me double check the fairy tale with it's original Danish version because I remembered it different. XD I guess I've gotten it messed up with another version, cause the original Danish version is the same as your English one.
H.C. Andersen remade quite a lot of classic fairy tales that can be found in older and different version, so I guess it's one of those I remember. :/
