sun was high in the sky.
Froggy: OH NO! The bus! The bus! Ill miss the bus.
Narrator Two: Froggy hopped out of bed and flopped outside.
Narrator One: The school bus was leaving.
Froggy: WAIT, WAIT!
Narrator Two: The bus hissed to a stop and the door folded open. Froggy flopped up the steps,
but when he reached the top everybody laughed and pointed their fingers.
Max: FFRROOGGYY!
Froggy: WWHHAATT????
Max: Did you forget something?
Narrator One: Froggy looked down.
Froggy: Oops!
Narrator Two: He was in his underwear.
Narrator One: He dashed to the back of the bus and hid behind Maxs umbrella all the way to
school.

Narrator Two: At school, he hopped behind bushes. He tried to hide behind the flag pole. He
rolled down the hall like a bowling ball and in class he pretended to be a flower pot.
Teacher: FFRROOGGYY!
Froggy: WWHHAATT?
Narrator One: But it wasnt his teacher at all. It was his father! Froggy rubbed his eyes. He had
been dreaming. He was still in bed.
Father: Rise and shine, Froggy! Its the first day of school.
Narrator Two: This time Froggy got all dressed- zip! zoop! zup! zut! zut! zut! zat! Then he
flopped into the kitchen- flop flop flop.
Narrator One: He tried to pour milk on his bowl of flies, but the carton flew out of his hands.
Mother: Youre just nervous about school, Froggy. Everybody is, the first day.
Froggy: Not me!
Narrator Two: And together they leap frogged all the way to the bus stop.
Narrator One: At school, Froggy found his name tag on his table. He liked his name. It was
the first word he knew how to read.
Narrator Two: It was the only word he knew how to read.
Froggy: FRRROOGGYY!
Narrator Two: He read it aloud, louder and louder.
Teacher: FRRROOGGYYY!
Froggy: WHAAAAT?????
Teacher: Hush, dear. Its time to pay attention.
Narrator One: But it was hard to pay attention. He squirmed. He looked out the window at the
falling leaves. He felt like a leaf, falling...falling...plop. He fell out of his chair.
Froggy: Ooops.

Teacher: Kindly stay in your seat, dear. Well sit on the floor at circle time. Now, children, today

Narrator Two: Everybody jumped up and joined in.
Everyone: Bubble bubble toot toot chicken airplane soldier.
Narrator One: When- uh oh- in walked the principal, Mr. Mugwort.
Froggy: Bubble bubble- oops!
Narrator One: Froggy was looking more red in the face than green. Mr. Mugwort glared at
him. Then he joined in until the bell rang for recess.
Mr. Mugwort: Bubble bubble, toot toot chicken airplane soldier.
Narrator Two: When Froggy flopped off the bus after school, his father said
Father: Froggy, how was your first day of school?
