Freddie the frog had the hiccups.
HIC — he jumped three feet in the air. HIC — he landed in the pond with a splash. HIC — he flew backwards off his lily pad.
"Hold your breath," said Rabbit.
Freddie held his breath.
HIC — he spun in a circle.
"Count to ten," said Owl.
Freddie counted to ten.
HIC — he bounced off a log.
Then a very small fly flew past his nose.
SNAP — Freddie caught it with his tongue.
He waited.
No hiccup.
He waited a little longer.
Still no hiccup!
"I'm cured!" he shouted.
HIC.
