2-02 The Corner

The Corner Frog and Toad were caught in the rain. They ran to Frog’s house. “ I am all wet, ” said Toad. “ The day is spoiled. ” “ Have some tea and cake. ” said Frog. “ The rain will stop. If you stand near the stove, Your clothes will soon be dry.

I will tell you a story while we are waiting, ” said Frog. “ Oh, good, ” said Toad.

“ When I was small, not much bigger than a pollywog, ” said Frog, “ My father said to me, “ Son, this is a cold, gray day , but spring is just around the corner. ” I wanted spring to come, I went out to find that corner. I walked down a path in the woods until I came to a corner. I went around the corner to see if spring was on the other side. ”

“ And was it?” asked Toad. “ No, ” said Frog. “ There was only a pine tree, three pebbles and some dry grass.

I walked in the meadow.
