One winter night a frog named Fergus was hopping alone a thin path when he saw a huge human. He jumped into a bush as the man had a net.

Suddenly he was in the net.
“HELP, Let me out!” Fergus croaked.
A few minuets later he was in a glass box with holes in the top.
“This box is really small,” Fergus said.
“Why am I here?” he wondered.
“Tap tap tap,” someone tapped on the glass.
“Wow!” he said “Stop” he yelled, “That’s really loud,” he went on.

Fergus saw a sign that said: Observation Centre. Fergus looked around and saw dogs, cats, ants, bees, monkeys, birds and elephants.
“Why are all these animals here?” he croaked.

That night he broke out by smashing up against the glass box until it tipped over and the lid fell off. He jumped out the window onto the road and jumped home.

When he got home, he said “I’ll go have a spa . . . it’s so cool and refreshing.”

After his spa he saw a letter it said:

To Fergus
It’s water time!
You are invited to my water Birthday Party tomorrow.
Where: My House
Time: 2pm to 4pm
See you there!
From Pink

“Awesome!” yelled Fergus “I can’t wait!” The next day he was at Pink’s house he saw a gigantic water slide, a pool and a water jumping castle. “Wow this is awesome!!!” he said to Pink. “My dad works with pools and things it’s really cool,” Pink replied. “Hey everyone I need to tell you something!” Fergus yelled out.
What, What, What!” the other animals, “Last night I was put in a glass box and I saw so many other animals!” Fergus said.
“Maybees wess couldss brakess them outss!” snake suggested.
“Yeah let’s go!” everyone shouted. That night all the snakes slithered in and killed all the guards. The bees covered all the cameras and the spiders unlocked the cages.

All the animals escaped and followed Pink to her house. “Thankyou Pink!” all the animals yelled, “That’s ok,” Pink replied.

They got revenge on the humans and the humans left the animals alone for the rest of their lives.
