“Lie down?!” said the dog, the chipmunk and the frog.
“Don’t we want to be taller?”

She stepped onto the frog.
“Hee-hee! That tickles!” giggled the frog.
“Now hop onto the chipmunk,” instructed the little bird.
So the frog, with the bird on his back, hopped onto the chipmunk.
“Oooophf! You’re heavier than you look!” groaned the chipmunk.

So the chipmunk, with the frog and the bird on her back, climbed onto the dog.
“Ouch!” yipped the dog. “Try not to pull my hair!”
But the chipmunk hung on to the dog’s fur for dear life.
“Now stand up!” said the little bird.
So the dog, with the chipmunk, the frog, and the bird on his back, slooowly stood up.
