Down the Hill Part 3

​

A crow flew nearby.

 

“Hello Crow,” shouted Toad. "Look at Frog and me. We can ride a sled better than anybody in the world!”

​

“But Toad,” said the Crow, “you are alone on the sled.”

​

Toad looked around. He saw that Frog was not there. “I am all alone!” screamed Toad.

​

Bang! The sled hit a tree.
Thud! The sled hit a rock.
Plop! The sled dived into the snow.

​

Frog came running down the hill. He pulled Toad out of the snow.

“I saw everything,” said Frog. “You did very well by yourself.”

“I did not,” said Toad. “But there is one thing that I can do all by myself.”

 

“What is that?” asked Frog.

​

“I can go home,” said Toad. “Winter may be beautiful, but bed is much better.”
