“I never understand why it costs so much for such small portions,” said Toad.

Frog and Toad walked around the corner to a local diner, run by a friendly raccoon.

They split a giant sandwich, some nachos, and a thick slice of strawberry cake.

“Now this is a treat,” said Frog, patting his very full belly.

“Yes,” said Toad. “Luxury is a state of mind.”

Mail

Frog came outside to check the mail.

Toad was sitting on the curb next to the mailbox.

“What are you doing, Toad?” asked Frog.

“I am waiting,” said Toad, “for the tax refund.”

“We already got our tax refund,” said Frog.

“I know,” said Toad. “But it was not enough. I am waiting for another one.”

“What would you do with it?” said Frog.

“I would pay off my credit card debt and get an eye exam,” said Toad. “How about you, Frog?”

“I would spend some on groceries and save the rest for the mortgage payment,” said Frog.

“Oh,” said Toad. “Right. The mortgage payment.”

Toad looked worried.

Frog sat on the curb with Toad.

“Another tax refund would be good,” said Toad.

“Yes,” agreed Frog. “As long as we don’t owe anything!”

Frog laughed.

Toad did not laugh.

They sat there all afternoon, waiting together.
