Frog and Toad read a book together.
“The people in this book are brave,” said Toad. “They fight dragons and giants, and they are never afraid!”
“Are we brave too?” asked Frog.
Frog and Toad looked into a mirror.
“We look brave,” said Frog.
“Yes, but are we?” asked Toad.
Frog and Toad went outside.
“We can climb this mountain,” said Frog. “That will tell us if we are brave.”
Frog jumped over rocks, and Toad jumped behind him. They came to a dark cave. A big snake came out of the cave.
“Hello lunch,” said the snake when he saw Frog and Toad. He opened his big mouth. Frog and Toad jumped away.
Toad was shaking. “I am not afraid!” he cried.
They went higher, and they heard a loud noise. Many big stones were rolling down the mountain.
“It’s an avalanche!” cried Toad.
Frog and Toad jumped away.
Frog was shaking. “I am not afraid!” he cried.
They came to the top of the mountain. There was a hawk above them. Frog and Toad jumped under a rock. The hawk flew away.
“We are not afraid!” cried Frog and Toad together.
Then they ran down the mountain very fast. They ran all the way to Toad’s house.
“Frog, I am glad to have a brave friend like you,” said Toad. He jumped into the bed and pulled the blanket over his head.
“And I am happy to have a brave friend like you, Toad,” said Frog. He jumped into the closet and shut the door.
Toad stayed in the bed, and Frog stayed in the closet. They stayed there for a long time, feeling very brave together.
