A Toad!

We found a toad! While playing on the hillside, a group of both Dogwood and Pine friends came across something they have never noticed on the grassy hill: a toad! Many kids kept a safe distance from the toad that hopped around. Many of the kids watched in silence as it traveled around, but others had many questions, comments, and squeals! 

"It's so brown! It's hard to see."

"I can't see it."

"It looks like the tree!"

"I think he's invisible."

"He jumped in here."

"I think he went to his house."

"He is hot, he needs to cool off."

After the toad jumped into the tree, K and J found something else that looked particularly interesting. Soon, a crowd formed around a small dark shape. 

"We found another frog!"

"I think he's going to jump out."

"That's not a frog... it's a rock!"

It was, indeed, a rock. After inspecting it for a few seconds the kids all agreed it was just a dusty rock that happened to look like the toad.
