Frogger

I'm back from the beach! :) I had so much fun. I'm sorry I couldn't blogg about it all week, but there was no internet access at the house.
Still, the stories will have to wait for another night. I am very tired, and my pictures are not yet loaded onto my computer. Still, I have time for one little story that I thought of on the drive home from work.

One day while driving home at the beginning of this summer I noticed that the fallen leaves on the road were blowing across the road in quick little bursts. "Strange," I thought, "The wind isn't blowing very much tonight," but I kept driving. I was still wondering at the leaves, which seemed to me to be almost hopping across the road, when finally I got a good view of one in my headlights. I wasn't a leaf at all! It was a frog! A plethora of tiny frogs were leaping bravely across the road! It was like a real life frogger game! I only hope that all of the little frogs made it safely across and didn't get squished by my tires.
It was one of the prettiest and eeriest things I have ever seen. The frogs were pale white in my headlights. Small ghost frogs playing a dare devil game of frogger across my path. Little bouncing balls of courage, or stupidity, living on the edge. The night was teeming with life and spilling out onto my path.
