Toad 1 woke up.

“Drat!” he said.

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

“Toad, you are right,” said Frog. “It is a mess.”

Toad pulled the covers over his head.



“I will do it tomorrow.” said Toad.

“Toad,” said Frog,

“Your pants and jacket are lying on the floor.”

“Tomorrow,” said Toad from under the covers.

“There is dust on your chairs.”

“Tomorrow,” said Toad.

“Your windows need scrubbing 3.” said Forg.

“Your plants need watering.”

“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 wash my dishes right now, then I will not have to wash them tomorrow, will I?”

“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?”

“You will not have to do any of it.”

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.”
