Arnold Lobel: Narrator

Quotes 

  • Narrator : [as Frog sees Toad's unchanged calendar]  Frog looked at Toad's calendar.

    Frog : [goes over to the calendar]  November?

    Narrator : [as Frog tears off each calendar page one at a time]  Frog tore off the November page. He tore off the December page, and the January page, the February page, and the March page.

    Frog : [sighs]  It's only April now.

    [we hear a triangle tinging] 

    Frog : Ohh...

    [turning back to the calendar to tear off the April page] 

    Narrator : Frog tore off the April page, too.

  • Narrator : [as Frog runs up the path to Toad's house; first line]  It was a beautiful, bright morning as Frog ran up the path to Toad's house.

  • Narrator : One day, in summer, Frog was not feeling well.

  • Frog : Once upon a time--there were two good friends, a frog and a toad. The frog was not feeling well. He asked his friend, the toad, to tell him a story. So the toad walked up and down on the porch, but couldn't think of a story. He stood on his head, but he couldn't think of a story. He poured water over his head, but he couldn't think of a story. He banged his head against the wall, but he still could *not* think of a story. Then the toad did not feel so well, and--the frog was feeling better. So the toad went to bed, and the frog got up, and told him a story. The end. How was that, Toad? Uh, Toad?

    Narrator : Toad did not answer. He had fallen asleep.

  • Narrator : Toad and Frog went for a *long* walk. At last, they went back home to Toad's house.

    Toad : Ohhhh, drat! Not only do my feet hurt, but I have lost one of the buttons on my jacket.

    Frog : Oh, well, don't worry. We'll go back to all the places where we walked. We'll soon find your button.

  • Narrator : [after Toad runs home and slams his door, frustrated at not finding his button until he sees his lost one on the floor, making him gasp]  There, on the floor, he saw his white, four-holed, big, *round*, THICK--button.

    Toad : Ohhh, it was here all the time. My, what a lot of trouble I have made for Frog.

  • Narrator : [as Toad sews the buttons he and Frog found on his jacket]  Toad sewed the buttons they had found that day all over his jacket.

  • Narrator : The next day, Toad gave his jacket to Frog.

    Frog : [wearing Toad's jacket and jumping for joy as he and Toad laugh]  Oh Toad, it's beautiful!

    Narrator : None of the buttons fell off. Toad had sewed them on very well.
