A Frog enters the shop, he had spoken to Mrs. Fox and she told him that he could get a good hop in the shop, so he starts hopping. A Rabbit also comes in after speaking to Mrs. Fox to get a good hop. And they start to sing a hopping song. Before they leave they ask Mopatop if they can come back and hop again next year and of course Mopatop says yes to that.
