The Race of Toad and Deer

by Pat Mora

“Silencio. Stop all this racket,” growled Venado, the

largest deer in the jungle. “I want quiet when I drink.”

The toads were angry and frightened. But Sapo just

went on singing.

“I said quiet!” snarled Venado. “I am the ruler of this

jungle. I am the biggest and the fastest.”

The Race of Toad and Deer

by Pat Mora

All toads: Singing together

Venado: Silencio. Stop all this racket. I want quiet when I drink.

Sapo: Keeps singing

Venado: I said quiet! I am the ruler of this jungle. I am the biggest and the fastest.

Sapo: Not bigger and faster than I am.

Venado: Uncle Toad, dear Tio Sapo, I’ll race you tomorrow, and we’ll see who wins.
