“That’s too bad. I’ll bet Dr. Pheasant could help him.”
“I don’t know but what he might; I’ve heard he is a good doctor.”
“None better. If I go get him will you show him the way to Billy Bull-Frog’s home?”
“I’ll do it, yes. But you must hurry. Ma and Pa Squirrel will be worried about me if I don’t get home soon.”
Hoppy Toad was off like a streak to where he thought he might find Dr. Pheasant. He found him heading toward home and stopped him.
“Oh, doctor,” said Hoppy Toad, “I’m sorry to bother you, but I’ve a friend—Billy Bull-Frog—who once did me a good turn, and he has been sick for quite a spell. Will you go to him and see if you can help him?”
“I will go right away, Hoppy Toad,” said Dr. Pheasant. “I always like to help those who are sick.”
Dr. Pheasant followed Hoppy Toad until they reached the spot where Bimby Squirrel was waiting. Bimby Squirrel was introduced by Hoppy Toad to Dr. Pheasant and they started for Billy Bull-Frog’s home. After a journey through the woods they reached the home of Billy Bull-Frog.
Bimby Squirrel left them there and hurried home; before leaving he told them of a short cut back home. They found Billy Bull-Frog flat on his back.
