The Adventures of Mr.Toad (5)

The Adventures of Mr.Toad (5)



They quickly unlocked the door and flung it open.

The rope of sheets still hung out the open window.
And Toad indeed was gone.

Yes it was just as the paper had said.
Toad was in jail for stealing a car.

On the day of the trial, Rat and Mole and MacBadger sat in the courtroom, feeing sad indeed.

But not Toad.
He was as gay as you please.

He explained to the court that he had not stolen the car at all.

He had bought it from some weasels, and in exchange he had given them the deed to Toad hall.

" The deed to Toad Hall！" the words swept through the crowded courtroom.
" he traded his home for a  motor car ? "

No one could believe it , no one but Toady's own friends.

They new how strong his longing for speed could be.

The judge and jury did not believe it.
Espcialy since the weasels lied and it was not so.

So Toad was found guilty and sent to jail for 99 years !
