A BEAR: Hello there, Frog. …Frog?

A FROG (waves): Hello, down here.

BEAR (looking around): What? Hello?

FROG: RIIIIIBBBBBIIIITTTT

BEAR: Oh! there you are. My, that sure was a loud sound for such a small fellow.

FROG: It is a thing I am good at. I am basically a puffy bag.

BEAR: It’s good to see you, puffy loud bag.

FROG: Thank you. Nice to see you too. You seem a bit… hungry.

BEAR: Oh, I always seem that way. I am a bear.

FROG: I see.

FROG: What on Earth is that sloth doing?

BEAR: Looks like there’s something up that sleeve.

FROG: I thought maybe it was just a fellow unable to manage their sweater.

BEAR: We must all try to manage our sweaters, as best we can.

FROG: Our sweaters, and our towels.

BEAR: Indeed.

FROG: Do you know how to type, Bear?

BEAR: Do these paws look like I know how to type?

FROG: Good point.

BEAR: I do know how to do some good graffiti on trees though.

FROG: I don’t weigh enough to make the keys go down all the way. Except the space bar. I’m good at the space bar.

Typewriter Story 59-62

BEAR (Scratching back on tree): Aahhhhh, this is a good scratch.

FROG: My, you do push on that tree very hard, don’t you.

BEAR: Just enough to scratch, Frog. Never knock down your favorite scratching tree.

FROG: That is wise.

FROG: So bears need space, do they? Should I hop back?

BEAR: No, you’re good. You’re a frog. You take up the space of a frog. Also, you are friendly.

FROG: I appreciate that. I’m a rather amorphous fellow. I can squish a lot smaller…

BEAR: Wow! You really can. Where did you go?

FROG: I am here, on top of your head. I jumped here.

BEAR: Impressive.

FROG: Thanks.

BEAR: I hope that sloth figures out how to untangle that sweater.

FROG: I hope so too. I want to know what’s up that sleeve.

BEAR: There’s more sloth up that sleeve, I’m pretty sure.

FROG: For sure. See you soon, Bear.

BEAR: See you soon, Frog.
