The Wind In The Willows (The Wander's Return)


Hi guys, here i will tell you tenth chapter "The Wander's Return." Oke, please read bellow.

The Wanderer's Return
Chapter: 10

Next day Toad wanted to give a banquet for his friends and neighbors to celebrate his
homecoming. He spent the morning making out a programme, full of Songs (by Toad), and Speeches (by Toad), on subjects like "Our Prison System" and "Horse-dealing". When his friends saw it they told him what they thought of him. "You must turn over a new leaf, Toad," they said, "and stop showing off!"
"No speeches?"
"No speeches!" .
"Not one little song?"
"Not one little song!"
Poor Toad! He had to promise to reform. But up in his bedroom, looking in the mirror, he sang his last little song in praise of himself. It was called "When the Toad Came Home."
The Toad came -home! There was panic in the parlourand howling in the hall, There was crying in the cowshed and shrieking in the stall. When the Toad-came-home! When the Toad-came -home! There was smashing in of windowand crashing in of door, There was chivvying of weasels that fainted on the floor, When the Toad-came -home! Bang! go th e drums ! The trumpeters are tooting and the soldiers are saluting, And the cannon they are shooting and the motor-cars are hooting. As the Hero comes! Shout — Hoo - ray! And let each one of the crowd try and shout it very loud In honor of an animal of whom you're justly proud. For it's Toad's - great -day! Toad sang this very loudly, with expression, and when he came to the end, he sang it all over again. Then he went quietly downstairs to greet his guests. He refused to take any credit for the victory. "No, no, it was all Badger's idea. Mole and Rat did most of the fighting," he said modestly. Mole and Rat looked at each other. This was indeed an altered Toad! The jailer's daughter and the engine driver were sent letters of thanks and presents. The bargewoman was sent the value of her horse, though Toad protested. The gipsy was sent nothing, as he had done rather well out of the deal. The four friends sometimes took a stroll together in the Wild Wood of a summer evening. Respectful mother weasels pointed them out to the young ones, and told them to behave, or the terrible great gray Badger would get them. This was somewhat unfair to Badger, who was fond of children. But it never failed to make them
behave.
