14-Dragons and Giants

Frog and Toad 1 were reading a book together.

“The people in this book are brave,” said Toad.

“They fight dragons and giants, and they are never afraid.”

“I wonder if we are brave,” said 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 try to climb this mountain,” said Frog.

“That should tell us if we are brave.”

Frog went leaping over rocks, and Toad came puffing 2 up 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 wide mouth.

Frog and Toad jumped away.

Toad was shaking.

“I am not afraid!” he cried.



They climbed higher, and they heard a loud noise.

Many large stones were rolling down the mountain.



“It’s an avalanche 3!” cried Toad.



Frog and Toad jumped away.

Frog was trembling.

“I am not afraid!” he shouted.

They came to the top of the mountain.

The shadow of a hawk 4 fell over them.

Frog and Toad jumped under a rock.

The hawk flew away.

“We are not afraid!” screamed Frog and Toad at the same time.



Then they ran down the mountain very fast.

They ran past the place where they saw the avalanche.

They ran past the place where they saw the snake.

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 covers over his head.

“And I am happy to know a brave person 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, just feeling very brave together.
