Hello, this is fumi.

Thank you, Moring, for your interesting discussion.

"Frog and Toad All Year"の"Spring"に関してです！！＃

Here, my opinion is that being honest is not always the best way.

Let's think about "Spring" from "Frog and Toad All Year".

One day in April, Frog tried to wake Toad up, but Toad said he wouldn't wake up until May.

Toad, feeling sad, tore the pages of calender from November to March, then April. He tried to wake Toad up again, saying "It's already May, Toad!".

Is Frog honest?
No. He lied.

Is Frog bad?
I don't think so.

If Frog hadn't woken Toad up, Toad would have missed all the good things of spring. Frog's little lie made both Frog and Toad happy!

So, I think being honest is not always the best way.

Thank you for reading!
Bye!
