The Wind in the Willows 9 On the Road

Toad hopped around his new yellow cart. " Toad seems very excited, ” said Mole. " Did he say we are going on a trip?” asked Rat.

Toad stopped in front of them. " Well, I can’t go all by myself! ” said Toad. " Forget it! ” said Rat.

" But you must see the world! ” cried Toad. " My world is the river, ” said Rat. " Well, a trip might be fun, ” said Mole. Rat frowned and crossed his arms.

" We don’t have to decide now, ” said Toad. " Lunch is ready! ” They all went into the house. They sat down at the dining table.

Everything inside was nice and fancy. The food was excellent. " There is nothing like traveling by cart! ” said Toad. Toad spread his map across the table.
