The possum looked closely at Toad.
"Did you say you are a toad?" she asked.
She stepped closer.
"You are a toad!" she screamed.
Toad backed away from her.
"I don't like toads at all!" she yelled.
She grabbed him by the leg.
"Stop! Let go of me!" cried Toad.
She swung him around three times!
"Ahhh," cried Toad.
"I'm getting dizzy!"
"Get off my boat!" the possum yelled.
Then she let him go.
Toad flew through the air.
He went over the side of the boat.
"Ahhh!" screamed Toad. "I'm falling!"
With a splash, Toad fell into the water.
Toad coughed.
"The water is cold!" he cried.
His bonnet was soaked.
A lily pad covered his head.
The possum looked back and laughed.
"I'll get you!" yelled Toad, shaking his fist.
"You'll be sorry!"
Toad swam to shore and climbed out.
"This dress is heavy, but I can still run!" said Toad.
He ran along the path beside the canal.
"Up I go!" yelled Toad as he jumped on the horse.
"Let me untie you, horse," cried Toad.
"Now you are as free as I am!"
"Stop! Stop!" yelled the possum.
"No one can stop Toad!" Toad shouted.
And he rode away laughing.
