Which Hole?

Prawny sees Rosalie coming.

She's coming! says Prawny.

Which way? asks Terence.

The way that I'm looking, says Prawny.

I'm here, says Rosalie. Has anything happened?

We don't know, says Terence. Let's go!

I've brought a torch, says Rosalie. 

Can I hold it? asks Terence.

I suppose so, says Rosalie. 

You take Prawny, says Terence.

She hands Terence the torch, and takes Prawny, who feels rather warm.

They head back to the pond.

I've got the torch! says Terence. Can I shine it into the hole?

No, says Gaius. You're not to go into the water.

But I'm the main frog guy, says Terence.

You could carry him across to the hole, suggests Margaret.

Thank you, Margaret, says Gaius.

But Terence is already certain it's going to happen.

Shall I give it a warning? asks Terence.

A kind thought, says Gaius. Since you thought of it, you deserve to be part of the action.

Yay! says Terence.

Gaius picks Terence up and steps into the water. 

He wades across the pond to the hole.

Which hole is it? asks Terence.

This one! says a frog voice.

I'm giving you a warning, says Terence.

Is it you that threw the prawn into my hole? asks the frog voice.

Yes, says Terence. It was me.

That's when I needed a warning, says the frog voice.

A warning not to try and eat Prawny, says Terence.

I didn't, says the frog voice.

His tail came off, says Terence.

Ask the frog if he's recovered, says Gaius.

Have you recovered? asks Terence.

No, says the frog voice. 

Ask him if he'd like to come out for a checkup, says Gaius.

Would you like to come out for a checkup? asks Terence.

Who's asking? says the frog voice.

Me, says Terence. And Gaius. 

No, says the frog voice. I wouldn't.

Then I'll blast this torch on you, says Terence. You'll get blinded.

All right I'll come out, says the frog voice.

Well done Terence, says Gaius. 

The green and golden bell frog's face appears at the entrance to the brick hole.

And another green and golden bell frog's face appears at the entrance next door.
