The Wind In The Willows (Mr.Toad)

Hi guys, here admin will tell you fiveth chapter that contains "Mr.Toad". Oke, please read bellow.

THE WIND IN THE WILLOWS
Chapter 5: Mr.Toad

One bright morning in early summer, Badger kept his promise to visit Ratty and Mole. "It's time we did something about Toad," he grunted. "He's a disgrace to the neighborhood. What my old friend, his father, would have said about his doings, I don't like to think. This craze for motor-cars is getting him into trouble with the police."
"Yes, he's had several crashes," agreed Rat. "I hear he has ordered another new car this week." They set off for Toad Hall. Sure enough, there at the front door stood a shiny, brand-new, bright red motorcar. Mr. Toad, in goggles, cap, gaiters and a huge overcoat, came swaggering down the steps, putting on his big leather driving gloves.
"You're just in time for a jolly spin, you fellows!" he called out cheerfully.
"Oh, no, you don't!" said Badger gruffly, seizing him by the scruff of the neck and marching him back into the house. Mole and Rat took off his ridiculous motoring togs, and Badger gave him a good talking to. Toad refused to promise to give up driving, so they locked him in his bedroom to think it over. But cunning Toad pretended to be ill, and while they were fetching the doctor, he skipped out of the window and bounced off to the village, laughing at his own cleverness and murmuring, "Poop! Poop!"
In the inn yard he saw a beautiful motorcar, whose owners were inside, having lunch. Toad could not resist trying it out. He turned the starting handle, hopped in behind the wheel, and drove off in a cloud of white dust. As he sped along he chanted a little song, all about how clever he was. Toad's next appearance was as a limp and miserable prisoner in the dock at the Magistrates' Court. He was charged with dangerous driving, stealing a motorcar, and, worst of all, cheeking the police. The Magistrate took a serious view and sentenced him to twenty years' imprisonment. The wretched Toad was handcuffed and marched across the square to the ancient castle, with its tall towers and grim keep, guarded by men-at-arms, and warders. He was dragged through the arched gateway, and through courtyards where huge bloodhounds strained at their leashes. Down spiral stone staircases he went, passing the rack room and the thumbscrew room, until he reached the deepest dungeon of all. In front of the heavy nail-studded door sat an ancient jailer with a mighty bunch of keys. Toad could never hope to get out of there, for it was the best-guarded prison in England. The unhappy Toad realized what a foolish animal he had been. "What has happened to the clever, popular Mr. Toad whom everybody respected?" he whimpered. "O wretched animal, so justly punished!"
He refused all food and lay limply on his bed, fat tears rolling down his flabby cheeks.

Two of Everything

Assalamualaikum Wr.Wb Hi everyone, I will tell you about "Two of Eveything", I was you enjoying to read it. A long time ago, there lived a poor old man and old woman. They was a couple, named Mr.Haktak and Mrs.Haktak. One day, they walked in the garden together. Mr.Haktak saw a large brass pot in the garden. He approached and took it. Then he put it on the proch of the house, his wife very happy with that pot. When Mrs.Haktak ponytailed her hair, his harpin fell into the pot. She searched and pulled two harpins. "What a magic pot!" said Mrs.Haktak. Curiously, she dropped the spoon into pot again, that's right spoon into two. The next day, Mrs.Haktak went to the garden leaved his wife. Mrs.Haktak sweeped the floor with singing a song, unconsciously Mr.Haktak opened the door and Mrs.Haktak fell into the pot and turned into two. This presented a problem.
