The Toad and the Frog - Not to Worry

"The Toad and the Frog – Not to Worry" is a comedic skit about letting go of worry and trusting God, based on Matthew 6:6-34.

Toad is overly concerned about a balloon gift for Snake, obsessing over its size, color, shape, and string length. Frog repeatedly reassures him that these details don’t matter, but Toad continues to worry. Just as Frog convinces Toad to stop worrying, he realizes a major issue—Snake has no hands to hold the balloon!

Frog, exasperated, offers a special "anti-worry spray" (actually air freshener) to "remove" Toad’s worries. When Frog sprays the balloon, it explodes, leading to a comedic ending as Frog runs off screaming, leaving Toad unfazed.

Sample Script

(Frog is in the room. Toad enters with a balloon.)

Toad: "Frog! See what I have. I have a beautiful balloon that I am going to give to my good friend, Snake."

Frog: "Hello, Toad. That is a very nice balloon."

Toad: "Yes, it is. But I am worried about it. Do you think it is big enough?"

Frog: "The size isn’t important, Toad. Don’t worry. It’s the thought that counts."

Toad: "I guess you are right. I will not worry about the size of my balloon. But I don’t know what colors Snake likes. Do you think I should get another color?"

Frog: "Snakes are color blind, Toad. Don’t worry about the size or the color. It is a nice balloon."

(Frog gradually grows exasperated with Toad as the dialogue progresses.)

Toad: "You are right. I will not be anxious about the size or the color of my balloon."

Frog: Good!

Toad: I think I got the wrong shape.

Frog: Arrgh!

Toad: I should get a long and skinny balloon. Snakes like long and skinny things.

Frog: The heart shape is fine! Everybody likes heart shapes. Don’t worry about the size or the color or the shape of your balloon!
