The frog hands the rabbit some money
Jared: Oh.
The rabbit then hands Jared a paper
And both Justine and Jared pay Cody and the rabbit went his way
Soon after having sold out every newspaper to almost everyone on boston the rabbit went back home to see his brother cooking over the fire
Cody finally done with the paper route
Cody nice
Suddenly there was a knock on the door
Cody open the door to reveal an brown Anteater
It was Easy
Easy hello I am the tax collector I am here to collect the taxes for his majesty King George lll
Cody wait we payed our taxes already
Dade: You can't be serious!
Easy unfortunately not enough we need more
The anteater just took the money Cody had earned and walks out leaving Cody in disbelief
Dade: Why you-
Cody dade I'll handle this I am just gonna go and ask Governor Jerry what's going on
Dade: Be careful! Who knows what that blasted Governor would do to you!
Soon Cody had reached town hall and on top of town hall flew a flag.
The flag consists the red cross of England superimposed on the white cross of Scotland, with the blue field of the latter
It was the flag of great britian
Cody just walked into town hall in hopes to get this matter settled.
At the Governors office
Cody walked in and looked around as Governor Jerry was talking to Justine A blue frog who's freinds with Cody
Behind Governor Jerry was a portrait of a green snake in his coronation robes with the crown as the symbol of his royal authority to the right, and with a column to the left, representing strong leadership.
Justine: These taxes are absurd! We can't afford to pay for this much just for your tea!
Governor Jerry Orders of the king
Justine: I can barely provide enough while you tax us to death! This is outrageous!
Jerry quit your whining this tax is to pay for the defense and support of you people here in the colonies to help defend against invaders just like in the previous war and I hope you understand that the King is in debt from the French and Indian war and its your duty as British subjects to Assist our government in paying the debt from that war
Jerry God Save The King
Justine:...
Paul: Unbelievable!
Pip: What happens now?
Cody I don't think there's much we can do other seeing how this plays out
Justine: I guess I'll have to work harder just to keep going
Cody you had to pay high taxes to huh?
Jared: Yes…
The rabbit just sighs.
Justine: That's the thing! He doesn't! He'll just fill his royal treasury with the purse of hard working men!
Justine: One day, we are not going to stand this for long enough..
Cody yeah!
Dade: Good luck, Cody..!
Cody thanks!
With that the rabbit went off to do his paper run
Cody hey Claire I got your paper!
Claire oh sorry Cody we can't afford that...taxes.
Cody I understand
Claire sorry Cody!
The rabbit just walked away and he walked over to Justine
Cody hey Justine here's your paper
Justine: Sorry, but I can't afford to buy them anymore. After the taxes for "His Majesty" has been passed!
Justine: God save us from the king...
Cody I see
Justine: Be sure to say hi to Dade for me...
Cody sure thing
Pip Look!
Cody Justine Claire and Pip look at were pip is pointing at
Justine: Great... It's them...
Both Foo and Jared turn to see what was happening
marching on the streets of Boston was the Red Coats soilders who wore bright red coats also wearing white trim a white vest and trousers black boots and a black tricorn with hat loyal to the british crown and they were armed with brown bess flintlock muskets.
The leading Red Coats of them bearing his majestys flag and the other bearing the regimental colors.
The song the fife and drummers was playing was the song Rule Britannia.
Among the red coats marching was Corporal Harvey
Yet Harvey didn't say a word as he marched past Foo and Jared
The blue frog watched on with seething rage as the redcoats paraded over the streets of Boston. The frog knew something must be done, but now, he awaits for that day to come.
The townsfolk too had shared the same sentiment as the blue frog had against the crown. It would only take a spark to ignite the embers of revolution against his majesty's unfair taxation towards the colonies under its rule. Something had to be done, as the people had enough of taxation without representation.
Only time will tell when the colonies will break free from the chains of the avaricious hands of the empire, and create their new destiny as an independent state.
