Poem
A frog went on a day trip to a pond just down the road, where he met up with his friend, Ribbity the Toad. They found their favourite lily pad and hopped up side by side and called the taxi fish to hail them for a ride. They went right in to the middle to where tadpoles sold ice-cream and newts were selling tickets for a concert at the stream. Toad had had too much dessert and felt a little icky. Frog had dripped it down his front and made himself quite sticky. They hopped in to the water to swim and cool off a bit, then climbed out on to the bank to find somewhere to sit. They talked about the weather and the kids were doing at school and the latest people living at the Grand Lakeside Hall. Frog had brought a picnic of barbeque flavoured slugs and they bought fresh maggots with honey coated bugs. They shared a bottle of pond weed wine and some chocolate and fly cake, which Mrs. Toad that very morning, had kindly said she’d make. They said that they’d buy tickets to the comedy show tonight and asked directions to the booth; straight down and then turn right. The pair sat and laughed their way through a very funny man who told them that his name was Frogosauras Stan. He did dinosaur impressions, which is hard in summer heat. Frog and toad both laughed so hard that toad fell off his seat. When Frogosauras Stan took his final bow, Toad and Frog decided it was time to go home now. They went back to the pond and hailed the taxi crew and the fish moved so fast across the water that the lily pad nearly flew! Once Frog and Toad were safely back upon the bank the other side, they shook each others hands and said their goodbyes. Frog enjoyed his day trip to the pond just down the road and he really enjoyed seeing his friend Mr Toad.
