2-03 Ice Cream

Ice Cream One hot summer day Frog and Toad sat by the pond. “ I wish we had some sweet, cold ice cream, ” said Frog. “ What a good idea, ” said Toad. “ Wait right here, Frog. I will be back soon. ” Toad went to the store. He bought two big ice-cream cones.

Toad licked one of the cones. “ Frog likes chocolate best, ” said Toad, “ and so do I. ”

Toad walked along the path. A large, soft drop of chocolate ice cream slipped down his arm. “ This ice cream is melting in the sun, ” said Toad. Toad walked faster. Many drops of melting ice cream flew through the air. They fell down on Toad’s head. “ I must hurry back to Frog! ” he cried.

More and more of the ice cream was melting. It dripped down on Toad’s jacket. It splattered on his pant and on his feet. “ Where is the path?” cried Toad. “ I cannot see! ”

Frog sat by the pond waiting for Toad. A Mouse ran by.
