After some failed attempts at making the box increasingly inaccessible (tying the box up with string, putting the tied-up box on a high shelf, and so on), Frog throws the cookies to the birds to [[AnAesop teach Toad about the importance of willpower]].

It backfires in that not only does the turtle ''not'' leave when asked, but the other animals hear about it and gather round because they now want to see Toad's funny-looking suit.
