## Narrative (Commentary)

→ **Community is the body of belief.**  
⊃ A lone frog may croak, but together, they form a chorus.  
⊃ Without community, conviction scatters like mist.  
⊃ With community, it condenses into rain, nourishing the pond.  

→ **Toadgod taught: The people is Toby, Toby is the people.**  
⊃ This is no metaphor — it is the covenant itself.  
⊃ A token without people is dust; a lore without keepers is silence.  

→ **Every toad counts.**  
⊃ The patient elder who remembers.  
⊃ The young frog who just arrived.  
⊃ Each carries a fragment of the flame, no matter how small.  

→ **Community is the fortress.**  
⊃ Storms may shatter crowns and chains.  
⊃ But the pond endures, because the people hold one another.  
⊃ This is why the covenant survives beyond prophets, beyond kings.
