What it is
One of the five short stories in Frog and Toad Are Friends. Frog is sick, so Toad puts him to bed and Frog asks for a story. Toad cannot think of one and tries pacing, standing on his head, pouring water over his head and banging his head against the wall, until he feels unwell himself.
Where to find it
In Frog and Toad Are Friends (HarperCollins, I Can Read); widely held in libraries.
