At that moment, Badger's front doorbell rang. Toad arrived, saying, "I have a small accident. May I stay the night?" "Tell me about your accident," Badger said. "I run into some weasels. They are standing in the road. A foolish place to 5.stand," Toad said. "Now the car is quite useless." "Why do you have all these accidents, six or seven, Toad?" Badger asked. "The cars are not good. They don't stop in time. They go in the 6.wrongdirection," Toad said. "Does your 7.drivingcause the accidents?" Badger asked. "Of course not! Nothing wrong with my driving." Badger looked at Rat and Mole worriedly. "It's 8.timefor us to do something." "It's no good talking to him," Rat said. "He'll promise 9.anything, and then as soon as he leaves here, he'll break his promise." "You're right. If I leave here, I'll get another 10.better, faster new car," Toad said.
