Toad went to Frog's house
He found a note on the door
The note said, "Dear Toad, I am not at homeI went outI want to be alone."
"Alone?" said Toad
"Frog has me for a friend
Why does he want to be alone?"
Toad looked through the windows
He looked in the garden
He did not see Frog
Toad went to the woods
Frog was not there
He went to the meadow
Frog was not there
Toad went down to the river
There was Frog
He was sitting on an island by himself
"Poor Frog," said Toad
"He must be very sad
I will cheer him up."
Toad ran home
He made sandwiches
He made a pitcher of iced tea
He put everything in a basket
Toad hurried back to the river
"Frog," he shouted, "it's meIt's your best friend, Toad!"
Frog was too far away to hear
Toad took off his jacket and waved it like a flag
Frog was too far away to see
Toad shouted and waved, but it was no use
Frog sat on the island
He did not see or hear Toad
A turtle swam by
Toad climbed on the turtle's back
"Turtle," said Toad, "carry me to the islandFrog is thereHe wants to be alone."
"If Frog wants to be alone," said the turtle, "why don't you leave him alone?"
"Maybe you are right," said Toad
"Maybe Frog does not want to see me
Maybe he does not want me to be his friend anymore."
"Yes, maybe," said the turtle as he swam to the island
"Frog!" cried Toad
"I am sorry for all the dumb things I do
I am sorry for all the silly things I say
Please be my friend again!"
Toad slipped off the turtle
With a splash, he fell in the river
Frog pulled Toad up onto the island
Toad looked in the basket
The sandwiches were wet
The pitcher of iced tea was empty
"Our lunch is spoiled," said Toad
"I made it for you, Frog, so that you would be happy."
"But Toad," said Frog
"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 for a friend
I wanted to be alone
I wanted to think about how fine everything is."
"Oh," said Toad
"I guess that is a very good reason for wanting to be alone."
"Now," said Frog, "I will be glad not to be aloneLet's eat lunch."
Frog and Toad stayed on the island all afternoon
They ate wet sandwiches without iced tea
They were two close friends sitting alone together
