MORE INFO

“At the edge of a pond Mr. Frog sits on a rock gazing. It's snack time. He looks at his lover some distance away perched just so on a lily pad. The second frog looks discontentedly at a snake swimming sideways in the direction of the lily pad. Its forked pink tongue glints in the sun. The snake has no interest in the frog, intent instead on a yellow duckling recently alighted on the water. The duckling rummages for a lily pad stalk, his favorite. A turtle paddles lazily next to the lily pad, content on watching the sky. He dreams of a shell with many colours and ridges. On the shore near Mr. Frog sit two rocks not saying much, while a group of mosquitoes hover above, conspiring for blood. One drops too low and is snapped out of the air by little Mister's long tongue. A fish jumps; soon it will be dusk.”
