Dido laughed in a guttural fashion, and shrugged her shoulders contemptuously.,The King departed, refusing to have anyone to accompany him, after making handsome presents to the Frog: "Do not be discouraged," she said to him; "you will meet with terrible difficulties, but I hope that you will succeed according to your wishes."
