The Lost Button

Toad and Frog
went for a long walk.
They walked across a large meadow.
They walked in the woods.
They walked along the river.
At last they went back home
to Toad's house.
:Oh, dear," said Toad.
"Not only do my feet hurt,.
but I have lost
one of the buttons on my jacket."
"Don't worry," said Frog.
"We will go back
to all the places where we walked. 
We will soon find your button."
They walked back to the large meadow.
They began to look for the button
in the tall grass.
"Here is your button!" cried Frog.
"That is not my button," said Toad.
"That button is black.
My button was white."
Toad put the black button in his pocket.
A sparrow flew down.
"Excuse me," said the sparrow.
"Did you lose a button? I found one."
That is not my button," said Toad.
"That button has two holes.
My button had four holes."
Toad put the button with two holes
in his pocket.
They went back to the woods
and looked on the dark  paths.
"Here is your button," said Frog.
"That is not my button, cried Toad.
"That button is small.
My button was big."
Toad put the small button
in his pocket.
A racoon came out from behind a tree.
"I heard that you were looking
foir a button," he said.
"Here is one that I just found."
"That is not my button!" wailed Taod.
"That button is square.
My button was round."
Toad put the square button
in his pocket.
Frog and Toad went back to the river.
They looked for the button
in the mud.
"Here is your button," said frog.
"That is not my button!" shouted Toad.
"That button is thin.
My button was thick."
Toad put the thin button in his pocket. He was very angry.
"The whole world is covered with buttons,"
and not one of them is mine!"

Toad ran home and slammed the door.
There on the floor
he saw his white, four-holed,
big, round, thick button.
"Oh," said Toad.
"It was here all the time.
What a lot of trouble
I have made for Frog."

Toad took all of the buttons
out of his pocket.
He took his sewing box
down from the shelf.
Toad sewed the buttons
all over his jacket.

The next day, Toad gave
his jacket to Frog.
Frog thought that it was beautiful.
He put it on and jumped for joy.
None of the buttons fell off.
Toad had sewed them on very welll.

                      A Swim (last three drawings--including the
                 one in this post)) from "Frog and Toad are Friends" by
                                        Arnold Lobel
Toad and Frog went down to the river.
"What a day for a swim,"  said Frog.
"Yes," said Toad, "I will go behind these rocks
and put on my bathing suit," said Toad.
"I don't wear a bathing suit," said Frog.
"Well, I do," said Toad.  After I put on my bathing suit,
yiou must not look at me until I get into the water."
"Why not?" asked Frog. "Because I look funny in my bathingsuit.
That is why," said Toad. Frog cvosed his eyes when Toad
came out from behind the rocks. Toad was wearing hiis bathing suit.
"Don't peek," he said.  Frog and Toad jumped into the water.
They swam all afternoon. Frog swam fast and made big splashes.
Toad swam slowly and made smaller splashes.

A turtle came along the river bank. "Frog, tell that turtle to go away,"
said Toad.  "I do not want him to see me in my bathuing suit.
when I come out of the river."  Frog swam over to  the turtle.
"Turtle," said Frog, " you will have to go away."
"Why should I?" asked the turtle. "Because Toad thinks that
he looks funny in hbis bathing suit6, and he does not want
you to see him," said Frog.
Some lizards were sittring nearby.  "Does Toard really look funny
in his bathing suit?"  they asked.  A snake crawled out orf the grass.
"If Toad looks funny in his bathing suit, " said the snake,
"then I, for one, want to see him."  "We want to see him too,"
said  two dragonflies. "Me too," said a field mouse. " I have not
seen anything funny  in a long time."

Frog swam back to Toad. "I am sorry, Toad,"  he siad. "Everyone
wants to see how you will look."  "Then I will stay right here
until they go away," said Toad.  The turtle and the lizards and
the snake and the dragonflies and the field mouse
all sat on the riverbank.  They waited for Toad to come out of the water.
"PLease," cried Frog, "Please go away!" But no one went away.

Toad was getting colder and colder.  He was beginning to shiver
and sneeze.  "I will have to come out of the water,," said Toadr.
"I am catching a cold."  Toad climbed out of the river.  The water
dripped out of his bathing suit and down onto his feet.
The turtle lautghed. The lizards laughed.  The snake laughed.
The field mouise laughed, and Frog laughed.
"What are you lasughing at Frog??" asked Toad.
"I am laughing at you, Toad, because you reaslly do
look funny in your bathing suit."
Of course I do," said Toad.
Then he picked up his clothes and went home.
