A Boy, A Dog, A Frog and A Friend by Mercer and Marianna Mayer. One day a boy went fishing with his dog and his frog. He sat by the side of a pond and patiently waited for a fish to bite. All of a sudden he felt a bite! It had to be a big fish because it bent the pole and started to pull the boy into the water. The fish was so strong it yanked the boy and his pole right into the pond. The dog and frog jumped in after the boy. Well, it turned out it was not a fish at all. It was a turtle! The turtle swam across the pond with the boy's fishing pole and began to walk away with it. When the boy saw what was happening, he yelled at the turtle." You come back here with my fishing pole!" The dog swam over to the turtle and started to bark and paw at him. While the dog distracted the turtle, the boy took back his fishing pole. The turtle did not like the dog barking at him so he bit the dog's paw. The boy tried to help his dog by pulling him away from the turtle, but the turtle would not let go.
