2-01 Down the Hill

Down the Hill Frog knocked at Toad’s door. “ Toad, wake up. ” he cried. “ Come out and see how wonderful the winter is! ” “ I will not, ” said Toad. “ I am in my warm bed. ” “ Winter is beautiful, ” said Frog. “ Come out and have fun. ”

“ Blah, ” said Toad. “ I do not have any winter clothes. ” Frog came into the house. “ I have brought you some things to wear, ” he said. Frog pushed a coat down over the top of Toad. Frog pulled snow pants up over the bottom of Toad.

He put a hat and scarf on Toad’s head.

“ Help! ” cried Toad. “ My best friend is trying to kill me! ” “ I am only getting you ready for winter. ” Said Frog. Forg and Toad went outside. They tramped through the snow. “ We will ride down this big hill on my sled, ” said Frog. “ Not me. ” said Toad. “ Do not be afraid. ” Said Frog. “ I will be with you on the sled. It will be a fine, fast ride. Toad, you sit in front. I will sit right behind you. ”

The sled began to move down the hill. “ Here we go! ” said Frog.
