[A List]
One morning Toad sat in bed. He had many things to do on the day. He wrote them all down on a list. These are "Wake up, Eat lunch, Get Dressed, Go to Frog's House, Take walk with Frog, Eat lunch, Take nap, Play games with Frog, Eat Supper, Go To Sleep." He crossed one point out as he done it. He woke up, ate breakfast, and got dressed. So, he went out to Frog. He crossed "Go to Frog's House" out. Toad and Frog went out to take a walk. Toad crossed "Take walk with Frog" out. Just then, strong wind carried off Toad's list. Frog ran after the list, but Toad couldn't. Because "Running After" wasn't in his list. Frog ran after it desperately, but he couldn't catch it. Toad was disappointed. He didn't remember what else was on his list. They could only sat there. After a long time, Frog said "Toad, it's getting dark. We should be going to sleep now." As Toad heard it, he shouted "Go to sleep!" He remember that there is "Go To Sleep" on the last of his list. He wrote "Go to sleep" on the ground with a stick. And then, he crossed it out and said Toad "Now my day is all crossed out!" They went right to sleep.

[The Garden]
When Frog was in his garden, Toad came to Frog. Toad surprised with Frog's great garden. Frog told Toad "It is very nice, but it was hard work." But he thought that also he wants his own garden. So, Frog gave some flower seeds to Toad and said "Plant them in the ground, and soon you will have a garden." Toad ran home and planted the flower seeds. Toad talked to the seeds "Start growing." But the seeds didn't start to grow. Toad put his head close to the ground and said that loudly again and again. But nothing happened. As Frog heard Toad's loud voice, Frog came running up to Toad. And Frog admonished Toad "You're shouting too much. These poor seeds are afraid to grow. Leave them alone for a few days." After that, Toad did a lot for seeds. He read a long story, sang songs, read poems, played music. Everything was for seeds. But seeds still didn't start to grow. Toad cried and felt very tired. At last, he fell asleep. "Toad, Toad, wake up. Look at the garden!" Frog got Toad up. There were little green plants on Toad's garden. Toad said "You were right, Frog. It was very hard work."

[Cookies]
Toad baked some cookies. These were very delicious. So Toad bring them to Frog. Also Frog was very impressed at the deliciousness of the cookies. They began to eat them one after another. They knew that they have to stop eating, or they will soon be sick. But they couldn't. Frog said "We need will power." The power is what to stop eating. At last, Frog put the cookies in a box to stop eating. But toad said "We can open the box." Next, Frog tied some string around the box. But Toad said "We can cut the string and open the box." And next, Frog got a ladder and put the box up on a high shelf. But Toad said "We can climb the ladder and take the box down from the shelf and cut the string and open the box." Finally, Frog took the box outside and shouted in a loud voice, "HEY BIRDS, HERE ARE COOKIES!" Birds picked up all the cookies and flew away. Toad felt sad because the cookies weren't there at all. But Toad said "We have lots and lots of will power. I'm going home now to bake a cake."

[Dragons and Giants]
Frog and Toad were reading a fairy tales together. They longed for the brave heroes in the stories. They went outside to make sure that they were brave, too. They came to a dark cave. A big snake came out of the cave. Frog and Toad jumped away. Toad was shaking, but he cried "I'm not afraid!" They climbed the mountain higher, and they heard a loud noise. So many large stones were rolling down the mountain. They jumped away. Frog was trembling, but shouted "I'm not afraid!" They came to the top of the mountain. A hawk fell over them. They jumped under a rock. They screamed "We're not afraid!" They ran past all the places where they went through and they reached Toad's house. They applauded the braveness of each other. But Frog was in the closet. And Toad stayed in the bed. They just feeling very brave together.

Toad play the piano perfectly. "Frog, can you play the piano like this?" Toad asked. Frog answered "No." It seemed to Toad that Frog looked even smaller. "TOAD WILL NOW WALK ON A HIGH WIRE, AND HE WILL NOT FALL DOWN." said the voice. Also Toad succeed. Toad asked "Frog, can you do tricks like this?" Frog said "No." He looked so small. "TOAD WILL NOW DANCE, AND HE WILL BE WONDERFUL." again the voice said. Toad danced on the stage, and asked Frog. But no one responded. Frog was so small, so Toad couldn't find him. Toad called Frog and cried. Toad looked about for Frog and called him again and again. "I'm right here." said Frog. He was standing near the Toad's bed. Toad asked "Frog, is that really you?" And added "I'm so glad that you came over." And then, they ate a breakfast. And after that, they spent a great day together.
