Ron had a new boat. It was a fine oak boat. He put on his coat and went down the road to the pond. His goal was to make the boat glide and roam on the green pond. But a big toad sat in the mud in the mid of the road. Ron did not want to step on him.
"I must get you to go," said Ron. He did not want to hurt the toad.
Ron 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.
