# Responding to the book #

I read The Wind in the Willows.

The character names are Otter, Mole, Water Rat, Toad and Badger.

Mole likes his house. His house is a tunnel. He climbed up his tunnel to the outside ground.

He liked being outside.

Next, Rat likes the river and his boats. A river is his great life. At the river live Rat’s brother and sister, Rat’s mother and father and Rat’s friends. And a boat is his great life too. He said “By it, with it, on it and in it”.

They’re good friends.

Toad likes cars and drives a car. He is a very dangerous driver.

“He’s going to stop driving a car” friends say. But his didn’t stop driving a car.

One warm summer morning, Rat and Mole sat on the river bank having a conversation.

“Can we visit Toad?” said Mole.

They will have a big party at Toad’s house, but weasels are in his house. Then one cold, dark night, they went there to face the weasels. They’re very afraid of weasels but, They clasp and fight with a gun, a stick and a knife. They regained Toad’s house again and they have a big party.

This book is fun because you can know about animals. I recommend this book.
