The Boat Ride
Fred Frog lived in a pond. He loved to swim in the cold water.
One day Bud Bird came to see Fred.
“Hello, Bud!” Fred called out. “It is a nice day!”
“Yes, it is”, said Bud. “But it is a little hot. I wish I could swim like
you. Swimming is too hard to do.”
Fred didn’t want Bud to be unhappy. He had an idea!
Fred swam to some leaves.
He got the biggest one. He quickly
pushed it near Bud. Bud hopped on. The leaf was a boat.
“This is not too hard to do. This is a breeze!” cried Bud. “I am not
hot now! Thank you, Fred!”
