Saved by Water Rat

Rat stuck out a brown paw. He grabbed Toad by the neck. “ Here you go, Toad! ” said Rat. Rat pulled Toad into his hole.

“ Oh Ratty! ” cried Toad. “ My life has been awful! Everyone was chasing me! I’ve suffered so much! ”

“ Well, you’re safe now, ” said Rat. Rat patted Toad’s head. Then Toad smiled proudly.

“ I escaped from jail! ” he shouted. “ And I stole a horse! Oh, I am a clever Toad! I’ll tell you all about it! ”

“ Wait, ” said Rat, holding up a paw. “ First, go change your clothes. ” “ What?” asked Toad, confused. “ You look like a washwoman, ” said Rat.
