One day, Mr. Ribbets the frog and Senior Lizuardo the lizard went for a walk. The were going to walk to Lilly Pad Lake for their holidays.
"I can't wait to get to Lilly Pad Lake, " said Senior Lizuado.
"Yeah...me to" said Mr. Ribbets. "They have an All the Flies You Can Eat buffet!"
"But we have to be careful on the road" said Lizuardo. "I've heard there's snakes!"
"Snakes don't scare me!" said Mr. Ribbets
They walked and walked for about two hours. They decided to take a break. They told jokes, playd a game and ate fly sandwiches. Then they got tired of eating and playing. They decided to take a nap. Just then, they heard a hissing noise.
"What was that?" whispered Mr. Ribbets.
"I don't know but it sounds like a snake!" said Senior Lizuardo.
"M-m-maybe it was just the w-w-w-ind" stammered Mr. Ribbets.
Suddenly, a great big, ugly snake appeared in front of them. It was brown with square patterns on it. Her eyes were slit and yellow with and seemed to have terror glistening in them. Mr. Ribbets was so scared that he jumped on top of Lizuardo.
"I thought you weren't afraid of snakes" said Lizuardo.
"Well.....I-I-I- ch-ch-ch-changed my m-m-m-mind!" squeeled Mr. Ribbets.
"Am am pleasssssed to meet you" hissed the snake. "I am Anna, the Anaconda. What, may I ask, are two gentlement like you doing in the middle of this dangerous forresssst?"
"We are going to Lilly Pad :Lake" said Lizuardo.
""Y-y-yeah" said Mr. Ribbets.
"Lilly Pad Lake... that isss ssso far away and the road issss dangeroussss." said Anna. "I know a shortcut if you're interesssssted."
"Which way is it?" asked Mr. Ribbets.
"Oh it's jussst down thisss little tunnel. Follow me." replied Anna.
"Do you think we can trust this snake?" Senior Lizuardo asked Mr. Ribbets.
"Well I think we can. She doesn't look like she's lying." replied Mr. Ribbets. "And I'm hungry for flies at Lilly Pad Lake."
They entered the tunnel. It was so dark, it was almost too dark to see the snake ahead of them. They hopped crawled and slithered for about ten minutes until they reached a small cave.
"Sssstay here. I'll tell you when it'ssss ssssssafe." Anna said.
She slithered in and was swallowed up by the darkness.
"This doesn't seem like much of a short cut." said Lizuardo.
"Yeah it's more of a long cut. This snake is giving me a headache with all her hissssssing."
"All'sss clear to come it in!" said Anna Anaconda.
They walked into the cave shakily. The cave was hot and stinky. It was stinkier than a stink park. Suddenly they heard a bang.
"Quick! Ssssomeone's coming! Hide here." Anna urged. She pushed them into a hole that felt suspiciously like a pot.
"I think the snake is tricking us!" said Lizuardo.They heard a click and the sound of a fire coming to life.
"Do you feel anything?" said Lizuardo.
"Nope" said Mr. Ribbets. " all I feel is my heart beating really fast!"
"I wonder where the snake has gone?" said Lizuardo.
"Can we come out of hiding?" Mr. Ribbets asked.
"No, I'm ssstil dealing the enemy." Anna replied. "Hya! Take that you ninny hammer!"
By this time, Lizuardo was getting suspicious of Anna. "Maybe you should jump up and see what Anna is doing, Ribbets."
Mr. Ribbets did a big jump. "Hey she isn't fighting, she's cutting vegetables!" he exclaimed.
"Oh no! she's going to eat us!" said Lizuardo.
"Well, maybe she just doesn't lie vegetables." suggested Mr. Ribbets.
"You are the biggest ninny hammer frog face ever! She's going to eat us!"
"We got to get out of here!" wailed Mr. Ribbets.
"Let me think about this....why don't we get out of here while her back is turned."
Just then a pile of vegetables fell on them. "Ahhhhh! Vegetables!" they screamed.
"Let's make vegetable disguises!" said Mr. Ribbets.
"Who's ever heard of walking vegetables?" said Lizuardo.
"Well, do you have a better idea, Mr. Know-it-all?"
"Ok. fine. I guess you can fit inside a tomato and I can get inside a carrot. How about we throw a carrot across the room as a distraction and we can get out."
They threw the carrot and Anna slithered to go fetch it.
"Quick! Now!" said Lizuardo. They ran as fast as they could for the door. Anna turned just in time to see a carrot and tomato running away. The carrot had a tail.
"They're trying to essscape! Come back here you!" she shouted. She chased after them.
"Faster!" yelled Mr. Ribbets.
They ran and ran and ran. When they got through the door, Lizuardo said, "Quick cover up the door!"
They found a huge rock and rolled it in front of the entrance. It hit Anna Anaconda in the face.
"Phew! That was close!" sighed Lizuardo.
They ran down the trail-which wasn't dangerous at all-until they came to a lake. It was so beautiful and it had so many lily pads and flies.
"I think I've died and gone to heaven!" they sighed.
"I'm going to have a big snack of flies" said Mr. Ribbets.
"I'm going to go get myself a tan" said Senior Lizuardo.
So Mr. Ribbets went of his flies and Senior Lizuardo started tanning. They were very happy at Lilly Pad Lake and they never forgot never to trust strangers-especially those who slither.
"I can't wait to get to Lilly Pad Lake, " said Senior Lizuado.
"Yeah...me to" said Mr. Ribbets. "They have an All the Flies You Can Eat buffet!"
