00:30 >> It was Froggy's mother's birthday.
00:33 Froggy was outside making mud pies.
00:37 "Froggy!" called his father.
00:40 "What?"
00:42 "Help me bake a cake for your mother."
00:45 [ Music ]
00:49 "Oh, please!" cried Froggy.
00:53 "I want to do it all by myself."
00:56 So Froggy flopped into the kitchen.
00:59 Flop, flop, flop.
01:02 "You'll need flour," said his father.
01:05 "And sugar and chocolate."
01:08 "I know!" cried Froggy.
01:12 And he pushed his chair against the counter and climbed up.
01:18 [ Beep ]
01:20 He took down the flour.
01:23 He took down the sugar.
01:26 He took down all the chocolate candy his mother had hidden since Halloween.
01:33 "We need lots of flour and sugar," said Froggy.
01:37 And he dumped a large bag of flour and a whole box of sugar into a big yellow bowl.
01:45 "We need lots and lots of chocolate," said Froggy.
01:49 And he dumped in ten handfuls of chocolate-covered flies.
01:56 [ Beep ]
01:58 "We need milk, too," said Froggy's father.
02:02 "I know!" cried Froggy.
02:05 And he flopped to the fridge.
02:08 Flop, flop, flop.
02:11 And grabbed a carton of milk.
02:14 "Oops!" it dropped on his foot and spilled.
02:18 "And eggs and butter," added his father.
02:22 "I know!" cried Froggy.
02:24 He snatched a carton of eggs.
02:27 "Oops!"
02:29 He only broke four or five.
02:32 And just one stick of butter fell on the floor.
02:36 [ Beep ]
02:40 "Don't forget the baking powder," said his father.
02:44 "I know!" cried Froggy.
02:47 And he climbed up and took down the baking powder.
02:52 Then he cracked seven eggs into the bowl.
02:55 Crack, crack, crack, crack, crack, crack, crack.
03:01 And only a few shells fell in.
03:04 And he put in the butter.
03:06 Bloop.
03:08 And poured in the milk.
03:10 Glub, glub, glub.
03:13 And finally, he dumped in the whole box of baking powder.
03:18 Shloop.
03:20 [ Beep ]
03:24 "Time to mix it all together," said his father.
03:27 "I know!" cried Froggy.
03:30 And he stirred it and slopped it and mixed it and plopped it.
03:37 Then he dumped all the goopy cake batter into a cake pan.
03:42 And shoved the cake into the oven.
03:45 And he sang,
03:47 "Oogily boogily, burbly bake,
03:50 I make and I bake and I wait for the cake."
03:55 [ Beep ]
03:57 "Froggy!" called his father.
04:01 "What?"
04:03 "While you wait for the cake to bake,
04:06 help me blow up the balloons."
04:09 [ Beep ]
04:12 Froggy helped blow up the balloons.
04:16 He blew and he blew
04:20 and he blew and he blew.
04:24 Pop!
04:26 "Now," said his father,
04:29 "help me set the table."
04:32 Froggy helped set the table.
04:35 "Oops!"
04:36 He knocked over the lemonade.
04:39 And the paper party tablecloth got all wet.
04:45 [ Beep ]
04:47 "Froggy!" called his mother.
04:52 "What?"
04:55 "What smells so good?"
05:00 "It's a surprise!" yelled Froggy.
05:03 And he flopped back to the kitchen.
05:07 Flop, flop, flop.
05:10 [ Beep ]
05:13 "Come and get it!" hollered Froggy.
05:17 Froggy's mother and father flopped in
05:20 and slid across the buttery floor.
05:24 And Froggy said,
05:26 "Are you ready?"
05:28 And opened the oven door.
05:32 [ Beep ]
05:34 "Yikes! The cake exploded!"
05:37 yelped Froggy's father.
05:39 "Oops!" cried Froggy,
05:42 looking more red in the face than green.
05:46 "Too much baking powder, I guess."
05:50 [ Beep ]
05:53 "It's good, though," said his father,
05:56 licking his fingers.
05:58 "Wait!" cried Froggy.
06:00 "I'll be right back!"
06:02 Flop, flop, flop.
06:06 [ Beep ]
06:08 "Happy birthday, Mom!" he said.
06:12 And he handed her a fresh mud pie
06:15 with a candle in it.
06:17 "I made it all by myself!"
06:21 [ Beep ]
06:23 "Oh, Froggy!" said his mother.
06:26 "It was the best, uh, birthday pie I ever had!"
06:31 "What a mess!" said Froggy's father.
06:35 "Let's go out to celebrate."
06:38 "Great!" said Froggy.
06:40 "Yes!" said Froggy's mother.
06:43 [ Beep ]
06:48 And together, they leapfrogged
06:51 all the way to the bakery.
06:54 Flop, flop, flop.
