1-03 A Lost Button

A 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, drat! , ” 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 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 raccoon came out from behind a tree. “ I heard that you were looking for a button, ” he said. “ Here is one that I just found. ” “ That is not my button! ” wailed Toad. “ That button is square. My button was round. ” Toad put the square button in his pocket.
