Dragons and Giants

Frog and Toad

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 can try to climb this mountain,”

said Frog. “That should tell us

if we are brave.”

and Toad came puffing up

behind him.

a brave friend like you,” said Toad.

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.

and Frog stayed in the closet.
