Riittäisikö, että Nano laskee kuuteentoista...? Lämpimän humoristinen tarina kertoo veljesten yhteiselosta iloineen ja pienine nahinoineen.

They are clearly totally different from each other. So when an unlucky fly mistakes Frog and Toad for two frogs, the two are determined to set the record straight. After all, Toad is obviously stronger, while Frog is unmistakably the superior hopper . . . and before long, things start to get a bit heated among the amphibian population in the swamp. But when the two rivals have a close encounter with a snappy alligator, both Frog and Toad see the benefit of joining forces. Perhaps they're not so different after all?
