This story, called “The Surprise,” appears in “ Frog and Toad All Year,” an illustrated book of children’s stories by Arnold Lobel that was first published in 1976. But Frog and Toad both feel satisfied believing that they have done the other a good turn. Neither has any way of knowing of the other’s helpful act, and neither knows that his own helpful act has been erased. But, unbeknown to either of them, after the raking is done and as they are walking back to their respective homes, a wind comes and undoes all of their hard work, leaving their yards as leaf-strewn as they were at the beginning. The frog and toad (conveniently named Frog and Toad) see each other every day, and are particularly synchronized: rather than clean his own yard, each decides to go to the other’s house to rake up the leaves there as a kind surprise for his friend. "synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.On a cool autumn day, a frog and a toad awake in their separate houses to find that their yards are filled with fallen leaves.
