hopping in every direction. “Wait everyone, he will not hurt us,
he is here to help!” James shouted trying to calm the masses.
Dan picked up a stone, placed it into his slingshot, pulled the
sling back and aimed it at the bird. The rock flew through the
air, but missed the bird. Immediately he picked up another
stone. It shot through the air, but again it missed the bird. He
was about to give up when he remembered Kyle‟s words to him:
“Keep on practising and in time you will hit your target.”
He picked up another rock and aimed it at the circling bird once
more.
This time the rock hit the black bird on the stomach. “Yes, I got
him,” said Dan excitedly, but his victory didn‟t last long. The
bird let out a cry of pain and dropped the King frog. Oh no,
thought Dan as he watched the bird fly off and the King frog
fall at a rapid speed towards the ground.
The frogs were all frozen as they watch the King fall. Dan
moved as quickly as he could, cupping his hands to catch the
King frog. A sigh of relief came from the gathered frogs as the
King landed safely in Dan‟s hands.
“Why thank you Dan, you saved my life,” said the King frog.
“It‟s a pleasure your majesty,” said Dan as he placed the King
safely on the ground.
The King hopped to the Rich frog and said, “Now as I was
saying earlier, I want you to release my people.”
“The answer is still no,” said the Rich frog stubbornly.
Dan couldn‟t take it anymore. He walked to the Rich frog and
lifted his leg and said, “If you do not set them free I will step on
you.”
“No you will not!” said the Rich frog.
