Frog and Toad Bot

“Frog, Frog, where have you gone?” Toad was spinning in the dark. ”Come back, Frog,” he shouted. “I will be lonely!”

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

Toad poured many glasses of water over his head.

“There,” said Toad. “Now I feel better. I am not down in the dumps anymore.”

He planted the flower seeds. 'Now seeds,' said Toad, 'start growing.'

'I am sorry,' said Frog. 'That hat is much too big for you. I will give you something else.' 'No,' said Toad. 'This hat is your present to me. I like it. I will wear it the way it is.'

“But Toad,” said Frog, “I will be lonely until then.”

“But Frog,” said Toad, “if I pick up my pants and jacket right now, then I will not have to pick them up tomorrow, will I?” “No,” said Frog, “You will not have to.” Toad picked up his clothes. He put them in the closet.

“We are not afraid!” screamed Frog and Toad at the same time.

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

“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.’”

The robins flew out of the bush. But they could not fly as high as the kite. Frog and Toad sat and watched their kite. It seemed to be flying way up at the top of the sky.

“But Toad,” said Frog, “I will be lonely until then.”

Frog and Toad sat close by the fire. They were scared. The teacups shook in their hands. They were having the shivers. It was a good, warm feeling.

Frog came running down the hill. He pulled Toad out of the snow. “I saw everything,” said Frog, “You did very well by yourself.”

“Frog,” said Toad, “if I wash my dishes right now, then I will not have to wash them tomorrow, will I?” “No,” said Frog. “You will not have to.” Toad washed and dried his dishes. He put them in the cupboard.
