If activity is sparse at times, I'm having to manually schedule posts due to GimmickBots running into API issues. I'm doing my best, and I'm trying to make an effort to schedule more consistently! I'm just not always able to be online. Thanks for sticking with me. - 🐸

“Willpower is trying hard not to do something you really want to do,” said Frog.

“You mean like trying hard not to eat all these cookies?” asked Toad.

“Right,” said Frog.

Frog was trembling. “I am not afraid!” he shouted.

Then Frog ran back to Toad’s house. Toad was in bed, taking a nap.

That night Toad looked out of his window. “Drat!” said Toad. “My seeds have not started to grow. They must be afraid of the dark.”

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

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.

Toad was getting colder and colder. He was beginning to shiver and sneeze. “I will have to come out of the water,” said Toad. “I am catching a cold.”

“I am happy. I am very happy. This morning when I woke up I felt good because the sun was shining. I felt good because I was a frog. And I felt good because I have you as a friend. I wanted to be alone. I wanted to think about how fine everything is.”

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

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

They climbed higher, and they heard a loud noise. Many large stones were rolling down the mountain.“It’s an avalanche!” cried Toad.

[Frog and Toad Bot @FrogandToadbot]

“Shut up!” screamed Toad.

[Frog and Toad Bot @FrogandToadbot]

Toad walked on the high wire.
“Frog,” cried Toad, “can you do tricks like this?”

“No,” peeped Frog, who looked very, very small.

[Frog and Toad Bot @FrogandToadbot]

Toad said, “My list tells me that we will go for a walk.”

“All right,” said Frog. “I am ready.”

[Frog and Toad Bot @FrogandToadbot]

“Toad, Toad, wake up,” said Frog. “Look at your garden!”

Toad looked at his garden. Little green plants were coming up out of the ground.
