Frog and Toad Bot

'Why are you pouring water over your head?' asked Frog. 'I hope that if I pour water over my head, it will help me to think of a story,' said Toad.

“Yes,” said Frog, reaching for a cookie, “we need willpower.” “What is willpower?” asked Toad.

Frog was in his garden. Toad came walking by. ‘What a fine garden you have, Frog,’ he said.

‘I am sorry,’ said Frog.

“When I was small, not much bigger than a pollywog,” said Frog, “my father said to me, ‘Son, this is a cold, gray day but spring is just around the corner.’”

Frog and Toad sat on the porch, feeling sad together.

There was only some wet mud and a lizard who was chasing his tail.

The next day Toad gave his jacket to Frog. Frog thought that it was beautiful. He put it on and jumped for joy.

Toad ran home and slammed the door. There, on the floor, he saw his white, four-holed, big, round, thick button. 'Oh,' said Toad. 'It was here all the time. What a lot of trouble I have made for Frog.'

Then Frog and Toad ate a big breakfast. And after that, they spent a fine, long day together.

Toad dusted his chairs. He scrubbed his windows. He watered his plants.

Toad did not answer. He had fallen asleep.

After a long time, Frog said 'Toad, it is getting dark. We should be going to sleep now.'

Toad opened his present from Frog. It was a beautiful new clock.

'I will tell you a story while we are waiting,' said Frog. 'Oh good,' said Toad.

“But there is one thing that I can do all by myself.” “What is that?” asked Frog. “I can go home,” said Toad. “Winter may be beautiful, but bed is much better.”

‘Get into my bed and rest.’ said Toad. Toad made Frog a cup of hot tea.

Then Frog said, “Toad, here is what you must do. Tonight when you go to bed, you must think some very big thoughts. Those big thoughts will make your head grow larger. In the morning your new hat may fit.” “What a good idea,” said Toad.
