Then Frog went back to Toad’s house. Toad was in bed, sleeping.
“Toad,” said Frog. “Get up and wait for the mail!”
“No,” said Toad, “I am tired of waiting for the mail.”
Frog looked out of the window at Toad’s mailbox. The snail was not there yet. “Toad,” said Frog, “you never know when someone may send you a letter.”
“No, no,” said Toad, “I do not think that anyone will send me a letter.”
Frog looked out of the window at Toad’s mailbox. The snail was not there yet.
“But, Toad,” said Frog, “someone may send you a letter today!”
“Don’t be silly!” said Toad, “No one sent me a letter before, and no one will send me a letter today.”
Frog looked out of the window at Toad’s mailbox. The snail was still not there.
“Frog,” asked Toad, “why are you looking out of the window all the time?”
“Because now I am waiting for the mail,” answered Frog.
“But there will be no mail,” said Toad.
“Oh, yes, there will,” said Frog, “because I sent you a letter!”
“Really?” cried Toad. “What did you write in the letter?”
“I wrote,” said Frog, “’Dear Toad, I am glad that you are my best friend. Your best friend, Frog.’”
“Oh,” said Toad, “that is a very good letter.”
Then Frog and Toad went outside to wait for the mail. They sat there, feeling happy together.
Frog and Toad waited for a long time. Four days later the snail came to Toad’s house and gave him the letter from Frog. Toad was very happy to get it.
