Milly on the Lily Pad
Milly the Frog has been sitting on her Lily Pad for an awfully long time. In fact, neither Poppy nor Zander can remember a time when they saw Milly swim in the pond. After some clumsy but well-intentioned questioning, Milly confesses to them both that she doesn’t get in the water because she doesn’t know how to dive … and the other frogs will make fun of her. “Don’t worry Milly” Poppy reassured her, “Zander is a Goose – he’s the best diver in the forest, he’ll teach you!” It was then they learned that Zander the Gander couldn’t swim. Before long, the three friends hatch a plan to help each other out; Poppy teaches Milly to dive, Milly teaches Zander to swim. What could possibly go wrong? As it happens, quite a lot.
