Toad's Dream
Toad was asleep, and he was having a dream.
He was on a stage, and he was wearing a really stupid costume.
Toad looked out into the dark.
Frog was sitting out in the theatre.
A strange voice from far away said, "PRESENTING THE GREATEST TOAD IN ALL THE WORLD!"
Toad took a deep bow.
Frog look smaller as he shouted, "Hooray for Toad!" Either that, or Toad was dropping acid again.
"TOAD WILL NOW PLAY THE PIANO VERY WELL," said the strange voice.
Toad played the piano, and he did not miss a note. Which should have been a clear indication that this was a dream, because Toad is tone deaf.
"Frog," cried Toad, "Can you play the piano like this?"
"No," said Frog.
It seemed to Toad that Frog looked even smaller.
"TOAD WILL NOW WALK ON A HIGH WIRE, AND HE WILL NOT FALL DOWN," said the voice.
Toad walked on the high wire.
"Frog," cried Toad, "Can you do tricks like this?" as he fell and landed on his head.
"No!" shouted Frog, who looked very, very small. "I called the paramedics Toad, they're on their way!"
After the paramedics arrived, and patched up Toad, the voice called out again, "TOAD WILL NOW DANCE, AND HE WILL BE WONDERFUL."
"Frog, can you be as wonderful as this," said Toad as he danced all over the stage. As you can imagine, Toad's kind of a jerk.
There was no answer.
Toad looked out into the theatre.
Frog was so small that he could not be seen or heard.
"Frog what have I done?" cried Toad.
Then the voice said, "THE GREATEST TOAD WILL NOW-"
"SHUT UP!" screamed Toad.
"OKAY. THE GREATEST TOAD WILL NOW SHUT UP," said the voice.
"Frog, Frog, where have you gone?"
Toad was spinning in the dark.
"Come back Frog," he shouted, "I will be lonely!"
"I am right here," said Frog.
Frog was standing near Toad's bed.
"Wake up, Toad," he said.
Toad woke up.
"Frog, is that really you?" asked Toad.
"Of course," said Frog.
"And are you your own right size?" asked Toad.
"Yes, I think so," said Frog.
Then Toad looked around his bedroom.
"Frog, what are all these paramedics doing here?" he asked.
"While you were asleep, you kept screaming 'Call the paramedics, Frog! Call the paramedics!'" said Frog.
The paramedics looked clearly annoyed.
Toad smiled.
"Frog," he said, "I am so glad you came over."
"I always do," said Frog.
After Toad payed the paramedics to make them leave, he and Frog ate a big breakfast.
After that, they spent a fine, long day together.
