A toad saw a frog near the road. He was a fat old frog. He sat and moaned and groaned.

The toad said, "Do not moan and groan, Mr. Frog. Hop like me. Hop down the road."

"I am home," said the toad. "Come in and I will make tea."

So the frog and the toad went down the road to a big oak tree.

But Mr. Frog said, in a deep croak, "I must not roam far from home. I will be off to my home near the pond."
