Frog and Toad Visit a Haunted House

One day Frog and Toad were eating lunch at Reptile's Meal. When they got home, they read the Sunday paper. Frog gasped at what he just read. Toad asked ,"Why use gasping?""Read this, " Answered Frog. Toad read the sentence Frog was pointing at. "Wow," Toad barely whispered. It says that there was a new museum at Reptile and Baker street. The newspaper says the museum is a fake haunted house. They decided to go there on their roller skates.

When they got there, they bought tickets to go to the museum. Frog and Toad gave their tickets to the ticket lizard. when they went in the museum, two paper ghosts greeted them at the entrance. When they saw a papier-marche hand sticking out of a tombstone, they laughed! Also, when Frog pressed a button that says "Press me", a skeleton jumped out and Toad giggled.

They saw jack-o-lanterns with pointy teeth and glowing eyes. After that, they both jumped into a small boat together and entered the tunnel of fear. In the tunnel of fear, there were many statues of pirates eating, in boats, holding weapons and fighting.

After the tunnel of fear, Frog and Toad said together, "That was a lot of fun!" They passed through the exit and a big scarecrow said "bye, bye!".

When Frog and Toad went back to Frog's house in roller skates, Toad said "Let's go there again some other time." "Okay," replied Frog. And for dinner, they ate at Lizard Sam's dinner, lunch, breakfast. Open 24 hours a day.

Then, Frog and Toad went back to their own houses and slept well that evening.
