Toad 1 woke up.

“Drat!” he said.

“This house is a mess. I have so much work to do.”

“Tomorrow!” cried Toad.

“I will do it all tomorrow!”



Toad sat on the edge of his bed.

“Blah,” said Toad.

“ I feel down in the dumps.”

“Why?” asked Frog.

“I am thinking about tomorrow.” said Toad.

“I am thinking about all of the many things that I will have to do.”

“Yes,” said Frog.

“Tomorrow will be a very hard day for you.”

“But Frog,” said Toad.

“If I pick up my pants and jacked right now,

Then I will not have to pick them up tomorrow, will I?”

“No,” said Frog.

“You will not have to.”

Toad picked up his clothes.

“Frog,” said Toad,

“If I dust my chairs and scrub 2 my windows and water my plants right now, then I will not have to do it tomorrow, will I?”

Toad dusted his chairs

He scrubbed 4 his windows.

He watered his plants.

 

“There,” said Toad.

“Now I feel better. I am not in the dumps anymore.”

“Why?” asked Frog.



“Because I have done all that work.” said Toad.

“Now I can save tomorrow for something that I really want to do.”
