Toad Heaven: Part 2

By MORRIS GLEITZMAN

Limpy gripped his cousin's big arms. `We've got a plan, remember?' said Limpy. `If it works it'll improve the lives of cane toads everywhere.'

`What,' sneered a nearby bull ant, `even the ones that are already flat?'

Limpy ignored the bull ant. In the glow from the railway-crossing light he saw that Goliath was frowning.

`This plan,' said Goliath. `I still don't get it.'

`Do exactly what I told you,' said Limpy, `and you will.' Goliath nodded uncertainly.

`It'll never work,' sneered the bull ant. `You cane toads are losers.'

Limpy didn't eat the bull ant. What he and Goliath were about to do was too important to waste time having a snack.
