Doug the ditch digger was digging his ditch when a frog jumped in.
"I'll save you buddy!" Doug screamed. He threw his shovel to the side and dove into the hole. With his legs flailing around in the air, he managed to grab the frog, but he couldn't get himself out.
Ernie the excavator engineer saw this from a mile away. He wasn't about to let some hole get the best of his friend Doug, so he drove his digger all the way across the highway to scoop him out. And scoop he did! In a single scoop he doubled the size of the hole and rescued his friend, and his friend's new friend, from the depths of the hole.
"Thanks Ernie!" Doug said as he landed right-side up on his feet, still clutching the little creature.
"No problem Dougie" Ernie said, laughing. "Say, whatcha got there?"
"It's a frog! He jumped in my hole earlier, and I just had to save him."
"That's a good thing you did there," Ernie told Doug. Then he spoke to the frog "You're one lucky froggy! You were saved from a hole, and you made a good friend today. You be kind to Doug now!" Then he drove his excavator back across the highway to finish his own job.
Doug held out his hand to the frog for a high-five, and the frog shot his leg out, smacking Doug's hand with a loud "Slap!"
