This is my sad time of day. It is the time when I wait for the mail to come. It always makes me very unhappy.

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

Frog said, 'Would you like me to tell you a story, Toad? ' 'Yes,' said Toad, 'if you know one.'

Toad sat and did nothing. Frog sat with him.

In the evenings we will sit right here on this front porch and count the stars.

“Frog, I am glad that you are here,” said Toad.

Frog pushed a coat down over the top of Toad. Frog pulled snowpants up over the bottom of Toad. He put a hat and scarf on Toad’s head. “Help!” cried Toad. “My best friend is trying to kill me!” “I’m only getting you ready for winter,” said Frog.

'Alone?' said Toad. 'Frog has me for a friend. Why does he want to be alone?'

'This house is a mess. I have so much work to do,' said Toad. Frog looked through the window. 'Toad, you are right,' said Frog. 'It is a mess.' Toad pulled the covers over his head.

'Tomorrow!' cried Toad. 'I will do it all tomorrow!'

“Turtle,” said Frog. “You will have to go away.” ”Why should I?” asked the turtle. ”Because Toad thinks that he looks funny in his bathing suit, and he does not want you to see him,” said Frog.

'Hurry!' said Frog. 'We will run and catch it.' 'No!' shouted Toad. 'I cannot do that.' 'Why not?' asked Frog. 'Because,' wailed Toad, 'running after my list in not one of the things that I wrote on my list of things to do!'

In the evenings we will sit right here on this front porch and count the stars.

Then Toad felt very tired, and he fell asleep.

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

'Tomorrow!' cried Toad. 'I will do it all tomorrow!'

Toad played the piano, and he did not miss a note. “Frog,” cried Toad, “can you play the piano like this?” “No,” said Frog.
