Hoppy the frog wakes up feeling great one day and wants to share his happiness. Each time he tries, however, he is unsuccessful—the birds do not like his singing, the bees want to do their own work, and the bunnies are much faster than Hoppy. He ends up back where he started and finds a nice surprise, another frog with whom he can share his happiness.
