Treehouse comiler says 'code took too long to run.'

I can't see a ptoblem but where am I going wrong?

I have added a bool which should be returned and I assumed it would default to true

Frog.cs 
namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges
{
    class Frog
    {
        public readonly int TongueLength;

        public Frog(int tongueLength)
        {
            TongueLength = tongueLength;
        }

        Frog bob = new Frog(5);

        public bool EatFly(int distanceToFly)
        {
            bool eaten = distanceToFly < bob.TongueLength;
            return eaten;


        }



    }
}

You can't instantiate a frog object inside the frog class, remember this is just the class, it's the blue print, the method should only catch a "distanceToFly" parameter and check it against the property TongueLength (which already will be set inside a frog instance in runtime), so all you need to do is:

public bool EatFly(int distanceToFly)
{
       return distanceToFly < TongueLength;
}
