There is a toad singing showtunes in the creek outside Old Mrs. Moody's bedroom - and it's midnight! Such a ruckus! Poor Old Mrs. Moody can’t get to sleep and has to call Catbaloo for help.

When Catbaloo arrives, together they decide that it's not the toad’s singing that they mind, it's the TIME he is singing that's the problem. So, they come up with a plan: they will build Mr. Toad a stage and will help him put on a show every afternoon. Hopefully, Toady will be so worn out from his daily matinees that he’ll go to bed early and sleep all night.

Old Mrs. Moody bakes cookies, prints flyers and invites the whole neighborhood to come to the show. Uncle Henry, Lizbeth, and even Thelma, and her darling little grandson, William, come to the singing extravaganza.

Listeners are encouraged to think about the importance of using their talents so that they don't go to waste.

"What good are your talents if you never try to use them?” - Catbaloo

“Why, they’d be no good at all––they would be wasted. And that would be tragic!" - Old Mrs. Moody

This is a wonderfully meaningful and funny episode, highlighted with a special guest star performance by a very full-throated toad.

Hope you enjoy the show and will listen over and over and over. Feel free to sing along in your best toady voice!

1 Peter 4:10
