Once upon a time there was a frog and a toad who were best friends. Their names were Frog and Toad. They lived on an island called Best Friends Island. You have to be best friends to live there.

One snowy, cold January morning, a dirty, scary looking ship sailed up to the island. On board there were 10 mean and rough pirates. They had come to take over Best Friend Island. If they did, Frog and Toad and all their friends would be slaves!

"Toad," said Frog, who was very afraid, "what are those pirates going to do?"

"I don't know," answered Toad nervously.

"I have an idea! Let's sneak up on the pirate's ship and steal their cannon. With the cannon we can frighten them away."

"How in the world can we steal a cannon? Aren't those things too heavy to carry?" worried Toad.

"Don't worry, "said Frog, "all pirate cannons have wheels on them."

Toad was excited about the plan. He said, "Let's do it!"

So, they sneaked up onto the ship after the pirates came onto the land to find the best friends. The pirates were looking for slaves. Frog and Toad found the cannon, they pushed it to the side of the ship and let it blast! The pirates were still near the ship and heard the loud boom. It frightened them so bad that they ran into the water and started swimming and swimming back to their island! Some of Frog and Toad's friends were afraid too and started to swim away.

"STOP!" cried Frog and Toad. "We're safe now. It was just us who fired the cannon!"

Then the best friends turned around and swam back. They said to Frog and Toad, "You saved our pretty island! 3 cheers for Frog and Toad! Woohoo! Woohoo! Woohoo!"
