It was Tuesday and Ned Newt was drinking a drop of dew when his friend Samuel Snail slid up beside him. 2
“Have you heard the news?” said Samuel. “Our friend Hugh is about to be barbequed!” 3
“How unusual!” said Ned. “We better go rescue him.” 4
When they got to Hugh, they could see he was trapped by the flames. 5
“When I say GO, we will both jump on that tube,” said Ned. “Really?” said Samuel, looking confused.

“There is no time to argue,” said Ned. “Now GO!” They both jumped on the tube. SQUIRT! 7
“Phew!” said Hugh. “A few more seconds and I would have been toast.”
