Forty-six kilometers southeast of London, a young boy named Charlie wandered out of his family’s farm-house to fish his favorite pond just over the hill. However he wasn’t after the abundant numbers of tiny trout. No. Today he felt like fishing for…bullfrogs. He’d found many bullfrogs in this pond before, but considering the season, he’d most likely find more than usual. Whistling merrily and swinging his little tin bucket around in circles, he trotted down to the pond and sat on its shore, unaware that he was being watched by a wary pair of bullfrogs. Curious, they swam closer to Charlie. Charlie glanced, but pretended not to see them. Whistling louder, he picked up his bucket and slowly rose to his feet. Driven by instinct, the bullfrogs swiftly dove back into the water and swam to the other side of the pond. Tired of his fishing process, Charlie walked back home drearily. Back on the other side of the pond, the two bullfrogs from earlier hoped ashore. The largest bullfrogs name is Benson. The smaller one is his brother Bernard. Together they headed back to the cattail grove. The cattail grove is where all the animals of the pond, except fish, live cooperatively with each other. As the bullfrogs entered their home, they were kindly greeted by Mrs. H, the old and wise hedgehog. “Welcome my friends”, she said with a gentle smile. “What news do you bring?”

“Charlie is back”, said Benson, “Bernard and I saw him on the other edge of the pond. “Oh dear”, said Mrs. H jumping back slightly. “Yes”, said Bernard.” He’s back with his bucket and a desire for the animals of the pond.” Suddenly, Sam the young salamander approached the group curiously. “What?” he asked.

“Nothing”, responded Benson. “Carry on”

Later that night, a meeting was held in the cattail grove. Benson explained thoroughly to the others the danger Charlie possessed to the members of the pond and something had to be done to stop him from ever disturbing them again. After a couple hours discussion, the animals of the meeting were dismissed to their sleep. Benson like all the others especially especialy needed his sleep. But on his way to his favorite sleeping spot was met up by his friend Thomas the turtle and his family. “I just wanted to say that was a wonderful speech tonight,” he said. “Thank you my friend, but I really have no time to chat,” said Benson as he swiftly hoped off.

The next day, the animals were awoke with a start. Benson, now wide awake, lept from his sleeping place and was shocked to see Charlie crashing through their home, bending down in an attempt to grab each little creature that fell within his gaze. After a loud croak of alarm from Benson, all the animals swam as quikly as they could to the eastern edge of the pond, Mrs. H riding atop Thomas. Deeply disapointed in not succeding to catch anything, Charlie began to throw stones at the animals. But soon all were hidden by a mossy willow snag. Panting heavily, the animals of the pond climed ashore and looked back at Charlie. Who was now stomping around and continuing to throw stones at invisible bullfrogs. That night, yet another meeting was held. This one finaly deciding what had to be done about Charlie. Bernards suggestion was to create som what of a utopia where all the animals could live in safety. “Of course it would have to be hidden”, said Thomas. “Yes”, said Benson. “What about behind the waterfall?”, suggested Mrs. H. “In the lighted cave.” All the animals nodded and the decision was made.

Throughout then next couple weeks, the animals worked hard on fixing the cave to suit their needs. The small hole at the top was widened to let in more light and the pool at the bottom was made bigger so there would be room for all the animals. At the end of the day, the animals gathered in their new home to celebrate the end of their work. But, as they began to look around, they realized that someone was missing from their group, little did they know, but their leader Benson bullfrog had been take by Charlie. That night, the animals silently mourned for their friend Benson. But soon a decision was made that Mrs. H would be their new leader. Considering she was older and wiser than all the others. And they all lived happily ever after in their new settings with no further disturbances from the dreaded boy Charlie. The end
