Read the first part of the story.

The Three Frogs

Once upon a time, there were three frogs. Their names were Jack, Tom and Bill. One day, the three frogs were sitting next to a pond. They looked up at a castle on top of a hill.

“We are so ugly and green now! How can we be princes again?”

they cried.

“We can go to the castle and kiss the sleeping princess. She lives at the top of the castle,” said Jack.

When the sun came up, the three frogs started to jump. Jump, jump, jump. They only got to the top of the hill when the sun went down.

“It’s too dark now. We can’t see the way to the castle,” said Tom.

“Then we will wait for the moon to come out,” said Bill.

Soon, the moon came out and the frogs jumped to the bottom of the princess’ castle.

ground. It got to the princess’ room. The three frogs climbed up to the bedroom window and saw the princess sleeping in her bed.

They hopped onto the bed.

“Me first,” said Tom.

“No, me first,” said Jack.

“All together,” said Bill.

Then, there was a puff of smoke and they could not see the princess.

24^th March, 2008 Hello Chris,

Are you having a good holiday? I am here at the Water Park in Japan with my mum and sister, Amy. My dad is sleeping at our hotel. We are having so much fun!

There are many water rides to go on here. There is also a big, round glass Fish World. It has hundreds of

31^st March.

Mum loves the park and says Dad will take us to the park again tomorrow.
