But a big toad sat in the mud in the mid of the road. Ron did not want to step on him.\n\n\"I must get you to go,\" said Ron. He did not want to hurt the toad.\n\nRon found a long stick. He gave the fat toad a little poke. The toad did not hop. Ron gave him a small push. At last, the toad hopped off the road and into the grass. \"Good,\" said Ron. He ran to the pond and put his boat in to soak.",
