3.The Toad and the Frog

3 The Toad and the Frog. A toad saw a frog near the road.

He was a fat old frog. He sat and moaned and groaned.

The toad said, " Do not moan and groan, Mr. Frog. Hop like me. Hop down the road. " So the frog and the toad went down the road to a big oak tree." I am home,

" said the toad." Come in and I will make tea." But Mr. Frog said, in a deep croak, " I must not roam far from home. I will be off to my home near the pond."
