Wild-Wooders in Toad Hall

Toad banged the table angrily. “ The Wild-Wooders had guns?” he said. “ Yes, they did, ” said Rat. “ What happened?” asked Toad.

Rat told him everything. “ It was a dark, rainy night, ” said Rat. “ Our friends were sitting by the fire. ” Toad listened closely.

“ A pack of Wild-Wooders hid outside. The weasels came in the front. The ferrets came in the back. It was a surprise attack! ” said Rat.

“ What did Mole and Badger do?” asked Toad. “ Nothing, ” said Rat. “ They were only two animals against so many. The bullies beat them! ”

Toad patted Rat’s hand. “ They kicked Mole and Badger out, ” said Rat. “ The Wild-Wooders moved into Toad Hall. ” “ Oh my! ” said Toad.
