But as soon as Mario left, Toad realized there was something else that could save his life besides pasta!

"Hey, Mario, wait!" cried Toad.

"What is it now, Toad?" said Mario, as he came out of the water again.

"Could you take me home? I can't swim, but I also really want more of your pasta." said Toad.

"Fine then. Come on and hop on my back, I'll take you home." said Mario.

Toad then hopped on Mario's back before Mario began to swim back to the Mushroom Kingdom. As they return home, Mario asked Toad a question.

"So how did you get stuck on that island again? I forget." asked Mario.

"I tried to sail a wooden boat." said Toad.

"Oh." said Mario.
