Cliff Hanger

[Music]

excuse me

excuse me

today's adventure number 10 cliff hanger

and his bullfrog hat

we find cliffhanger where we left him

last hanging from a cliff

can can't

hold on much longer

suddenly

two park rangers arrive on the cliff top

above cliffhanger it's a pity that swamp

down there in the valley doesn't have

more bullfrogs in it that's why i

designed this specially equipped wagon

if we find any bullfrogs we'll get him

to hop in this bucket and then we'll

turn this crank to lower him into the

swamp brilliant our bullfrog hunt starts

on the count of five

one

two three four

five

i don't even need my survival manual to

know that i'm gonna have to convince

those rangers i'm a bullfrog

this bullfrog shaped hat might be a good

start and i bet my years of training in

bullfrog mating calls will come in handy

too uh um

[Music]

a huge bullfrog lower the bucket oh oh i

hope he'll hop in

yes

now crank him down to the swamp

well it's a bit mucky but it sure beats

hanging from that cliff

honey do you see what i see a bullfrog

our favorite meal let's

troclear and the alligator by peter

huggins illustrated by lindsay gardner

trocler loved living on bio fontaine in

louisiana

he could hop into his pero anytime and

hunt turtles or visit his cousins

and while trocler played cards with his

cousins aunt emil and uncle marie fix

gumbo and rice in the kitchen

when trocler didn't go to his cousins he

and his dog ollie would glide in the

piro to be island swamp the best place

to hunt turtle eggs

troclaire wasn't supposed to go to the

swamp because gargantua the rogue

alligator had moved in

he scared everyone he att*cked dogs cats

goats and a few careless pigs

pear troclear's father said it was only

a matter of time before gargantuar tried

boy or man

that alligator eats you and all is so

fast pear said he won't even stop to

burp

[Music]

[Applause]

trocler wasn't so sure besides he loved

the swamp

gliding under the cypress trees on the

smooth water trocler listened to the

silence broken by the dip dipped dip of

his paddle or the cry of a heron

trocler beached his piro on b island at

the center of the swamp he didn't see or

hear gargantua once

trocley and ollie hunted turtle eggs but

didn't find any

they did find a beehive in a live oak

tree

troclear thought the honey would taste

really good

troclea picked up a stick

he and ollie stepped onto a log at the

foot of the tree

they stepped onto a low hanging branch

[Music]

and then on to a higher branch

[Music]

trochlea helped ollie on to the last

branch as the bees buzz all around him

[Music]

hello

the log moved

the log was gargantual

trochlea saw he was as long as pear and

uncle marie lay head to toe head to toe

gargantuar looked up at them and grinned

they could see how many teeth he had and

how big they were

well well my potato stuck in a tree said

gargantuar

i tell you what you do boy

you throw that dog down to me and i

leave you alone eh

troclaire didn't know what to do

but the bees buzzing around the hive

gave him an idea

he winked at ollie

troclear said

okay gargantua open your mouth and i'll

drop ollie right in

i sure am glad you don't want to behave

gargantua looked first at olive

then at the beehive and back at ollie

what's a beehive askgargantua

oh

centroclaire waving the bees away

it's just full of bursting at a sweetest

tastiest honey you've ever seen

i'm glad you don't want it

sweet huh said gargantua

i tell you what you do

gargantuar said

you troll that old beehive down to me

and i let you keep that dog

not that said trollcliff anything but

that

please take my dog and let me keep the

beehive

no said gargantua

please please take my dog troclear day

no my mind she is made up

gargantua said

well all right troll claire said only

you have to come closer

when gargantua was directly under the

beehive trochlear yelled stop

now open your mouth troclaire said

using his stick trocline knocked the

beehive into into his mouth

[Music]

gargantua greedily snapped his mouth

shut

he rolled his eyes then roared with pain

the angry bees stung him and poured out

of his mouth you tricked me you tricked

me he hell

[Music]

gargantua ran as fast as he could to the

water pursued by the swarming bees

and he didn't stop swimming until the

island swamp was far behind him

when trocley and ollie got back home

pearce said

where you been now your uncle maurice

said he saw that gargantua heading down

to bayou like the swamp wolf were after

it

that old alligator got him a sweet tooth

he'll never come back here

but for a long time troclear never went

to be island swamp without pear or uncle

maury or one of his cousins

and to this day gargantua has never come

back

[Music]

the

ian

whoa kiri gargantua was

huge

enormous

gargantuan

yeah but he wasn't all that smart

trochlea played a pretty good trick on

him yeah

hey

swamped here today because we're talking

between you and a crocodile easy easy

moving stream of water

and this swamp is where we find lots of

delicious food like that and hinge
