Charlie Frog was tired of jumping cos he said it hurt his back so to stop the pain a-thumping he rode a skateboard on a track. This track was long, the track was vast and wound around his lake one day when going really fast he ran down Mr Drake. Such a fuss made Mrs Drake about her partner's tumble that all the members of the lake gathered round to grumble. They decided then and there to settle Charlie's hash by asking Mr Grizzly Bear to give the frog a bash. Mr Bear said yes he'd do it in return for a honey pot there should, he said, be nothing to it if he used an old fly swat. So Bear hid behind a tree as Charlie came in sight and slowly counted 1 2 3 and struck with all his might. Charlie let out such a yell and fell off in a muddle but recovered quickly as he fell into a muddy puddle. Charlie was unhurt of course for water was his home, and now, filled with much remorse he took his skateboard home. Charlie hadn't realized just how his skating had offended but he knew his priority now was to get his friendships mended. So he went round one by one to apologize to his mates for being so very troublesome and he gave them chocolates.
