"Can I go outside and play?" Wilder asked Mommy.
Arrow gave a bark, not wanting to be left out.
"I don't see why not," Mommy replied.
"Yes!" shouted Wilder as he and Arrow charged out of the house and onto the grass, but that was as far as they got.
Wilder had seen lots of creatures in his yard before.
He'd seen a hummingbird.
He'd seen a squirrel.
Once, he'd even seen a raccoon.
But this wasn't anything like that.
It was so unusual that Arrow was even forgetting to bark.
"Hi," said the giant frog.
"Are you Wilder, the Supreme Warrior of the universe?" "Uh," said Wilder in reply, "Sort of." "What do you mean sort of?" said the giant frog.
"Sort of doesn't help us.
We need to know." "Well, my name is Wilder," confirmed Wilder, "but I don't think I'm the Supreme Warrior of the universe." "Are you sure?" asked the frog.
