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

'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.

'Toad, Toad,' cried Frog. 'The sun is shining! The snow is melting. Wake up!'

That night when Toad went to bed he thought the biggest thoughts that he could think. Toad thought about giant sunflowers. He thought about tall oak trees. He thought about high mountains covered with snow. Then Toad fell asleep.

Frog knocked at Toad’s door. 'Toad, wake up,' he cried. 'Come out and see how wonderful the winter is!'

'Oh, drat,' said Toad. 'Not only do my feet hurt, but I have lost one of the buttons on my jacket.'

'Don’t worry,' said Frog. 'We will go back to all the places where we walked. We will soon find your button.'

Frog and Toad quickly ran back to the store. Then they sat in the shade of a large tree and ate their chocolate ice-cream cones together.

'Toad, Toad, wake up. It is May now.'

Toad sat and did nothing. Frog sat with him.

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