Good Friends 好朋友

Froggy和Duck是好朋友，他們经常在一起玩。可是这次Duck翅膀受伤了……读故事看看他们之间发生了什么。

1. Poor Duck！ She had a broken wing.

"Don't be sad， Duck，" said Froggy.

"The doctor said your wing will get better soon."

"I know，" Duck said. But she still looked unhappy.

"What's the matter？ Does your wing hurt？" Froggy asked.

"No，" Duck said. "I just miss flying."

She stared up at the wide， blue sky.

"You're a frog，" she said. "You wouldnt understand."

2. After Duck went home， Froggy looked up at the sky， too.

"Hmmm，" he said. "I wonder..."

The next morning， Froggy got busy.

He got a lot of balloons. He moved a chair out to the edge of the pond. Then he hopped over to Duck's house.

"Come with me，" he said. "I have something to show you."

"What are you doing with all those balloons？" Duck asked.

"You'll see，" said Froggy.

3. By the pond， Duck saw a big chair with balloons tied to it.

"Why is that chair here？" she asked.

"You'll see. Sit here，" Froggy said.

He was tying more balloons to the chair.

He hopped on the chair with Duck. He

tied on the last balloon. Then something

surprising happened.

The chair lifted off the ground.

It floated up， up， up.

4. "There！" Froggy said. "How do you

like that？ We're flying！"

Duck smiled a big duck smile.

"Oh， Froggy！" she cried. "We are flying. This feels wonderful！ Thank you so much！"

"We're friends！" Froggy said.

"And I am glad to help."

"Flying is so exciting and so much fun！" Duck said. "The sun is so warm. The air is so cool. And just look！ You can see everything from up here！"

5. Froggy looked down， down， down.

6. But Froggy would not look down again.

He squeezed his eyes shut.

"Oh， oh， oh，" he groaned. "What a

foolish frog I am！ I got us up here. But I

don't know how to get back down！ And I

think I'm going to be sick！"

Duck peered down at the ground.

It looked fine to her， but for a frog， perhaps it was far away.

"Hmmm，" she said. "I wonder..."

She looked around one last time at the sky she loved so much. Then she shrugged and got to work.

7. Duck untied the balloons and let them float away， one at a time. The chair sank lower and lower. At last it gave a little bump.

"What was that？" Froggy asked.

"You can open your eyes now，" Duck said. "We're on the ground."

"Oh， Duck！" Froggy cried. "How

wonderful！ We are back on the ground. Thank you， thank you， thank you！"
