A frog and a toad awake in their separate houses to find that their yards are filled with fallen leaves on a cool autumn day.
On a very good autumn time, a frog and a toad awake within their split homes to get that their yards are full of dropped leaves. The frog and toad (conveniently called Frog and Toad) see one another each day, and they are especially synchronized: as opposed to clean his or her own garden, each chooses to go right to the other’s household to rake up the leaves there as a form shock for their buddy. But, unbeknown to either of those, after the raking is performed so when they’ve been walking back once again to their particular domiciles, a wind comes and undoes all their time and effort, making their yards as leaf-strewn as these were in the beginning. Neither has in whatever way of once you understand for the other’s act that is helpful and neither knows that their own helpful work is erased. But Frog and Toad both feel satisfied thinking that they usually have done one other a turn that is good.
