    Frog had never been outside his own little village. Until the day his friend Hedgehog came by and asked: "Are you coming with me?"
    "Where to" Frog wanted to know.
    "On a journey," Hedgehog said.
    "On a journey?" asked Frog.
    "Yes," Hedgehog said, "jump in the back seat."

    "Are you sitting comfortably?" Hedgehog asked.
    "Please put your seatbelt on."
    Frog nodded and fastened his seatbelt.
    His friend started the car.
    "Here we go," he said, "wave goodbye."

    "Being on a journey is fun!" said Frog.
    "The wind is blowing around mye ars, and the sun is shining on my nose."
