Chapter+Summaries3

=Chapter 3=

It was August, and Winnie Foster was outside in the yard. She was sitting face-to-face with a large toad and talking to it. She was talking about running away. The toad was the only living thing in sight except for gnats on a very hot day. The toad probably wasn’t listening because, before then Winnie was throwing some pebbles at the toad (purposefully missing). Just then her grandma said “Don’t sit on the grass or you’ll stain your boots and stockings." Then her mother said "Come in or you’ll get heat stroke!" Winnie said to the toad that it’s always like that and had no time to herself. She thought about giving herself a new name and keeping the toad as a pet. Then she thought it wasn’t fair locking up the toad. She comes back to running away. She finally says she’ll be running away tomorrow. -Pranav
