after riding on a train, a barge, a horse and then the very
same car that got him sent to prison in the first place!
Toad is finally rescued from the river by Rat and learns
the dreadful news that weasels have taken over Toad Hall
and are guarding it, armed with guns. However, with the
help of Badger, Rat and Mole, he regains possession of his
ancestral home after a spectacular fight.
Badger tells Toad that he must have a party to thank all his
friends for their help. At first, Toad is too lazy to write the
invitations, but when he sees how angry Badger is he goes
straight to his desk to begin writing. He wants to use the
party as an opportunity to be the centre of attention and
to boast to everybody about his adventures. His friends
persuade him to be more modest. Toad vows to be a
different, less boastful toad from now on
